About the PathFindIR

Thermal View in BMWThe PathFindIR thermal imager can give you more time to react to road hazards than conventional headlights.  It uses the same technology we offer to military agencies to see at night.  It features a 36° field-of-view lens, which provides excellent roadside awareness, even at long range.  This gives you a better chance of seeing animals and pedestrians approaching the roadway before they become a danger.

Due to its size, performance, cost, and high reliability, PathFindIR is an ideal nighttime vision camera for a variety of transportation and other driver’s vision enhancement applications. Drivers of fire rescue, mining, recreational, commercial, and passenger vehicles all benefit from the ability to see more and react sooner
to obstacles in their path at night.

PathFindIR Close UpThe PathFindIR is the ideal thermal camera for OEM customers who need a low-cost, easy-to-integrate, high-resolution, sealed imager. Heavy vehicles, fire rescue vehicles, mining haul trucks, and UGV are all perfect applications for the PathFindIR. With a Core by Indigo VOx uncooled microbolometer, the PathFindIR provides unmatched image quality, contrast, and high MT BF in a compact, robust design.

With and Without PathFind IRPathFindIR’s 19mm, 36° lens is perfect for a wide variety of driver’s awareness applications. With the addition of the system cable, PathFindIR is hermetically sealed and rated to IP67.


In-Depth Look at the PathFindIR

PathFind IR DimensionsWhile the PathFindIR incorporates simple power input (12VDC) and analog video output (NT SC or PAL), it also offers OEM’s the more sophisticated option of interfacing with the LVDS signal output and LIN Bus command protocol, adding to the PathFindIR’s flexibility.

PathFindIR Detection, Range, Identification (DRI)

Detection   Identification  
310 m Human Detection 
80 m Human Recognition 
40 m Human Identification 
  • Human DRI Human DRI
  • Vehicle DRI Vehicle DRI
  • Boat DRI Inflatable Boat DRI
The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:

Detection = 1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter
Recognition = 6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter
Identification = 12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter

Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:
Human Detection
Detection  
3.6 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)
Human Recognition
Recognition  
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there)
Human Identification
Identification  
28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
(You can see that the
person looks like a soldier)

Assuming that a inflatable boat is 9m by 1m, the following would apply:
Boat Detection
Detection  
4.5 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)
Boat Recognition

18 pixels by 2 pixels
(You can see that a
