Leoptera

Infrared Camera Core Family

Leoptera is a family of flexible Infrared Camera Cores offering a high-performance, ITAR-free, compact thermal imaging solution designed for integration into a variety of products. This camera core provides exceptional thermal imaging capabilities and manages interfaces with a broad range of Leonardo IR detectors.

This provides an advantage to system integrators such as:

• Reduction in integration time
• Common interface between sensors
• Optimized design to achieve peak performance from Leonardo IR Detectors
• Standard output format

The ‘Light Core’ provides corrected video out (Nonuniformity correction (NUC) and defect concealment), for the lowest SWaP offering which gives integrators greatest flexibility to integrate within existing systems. It supports MIPI-CSI for flexible connectivity to external devices and has base CamLink available as an alternative. Additional options include a thermal reference source and image-processing electronics.

The processing electronics offer the full range of image processing techniques common with the Leonardo IR camera products, such as world-class Horizon Thermal Imager.

This modularity allows integrators to tailor their designs to customer needs, as well as offer standardized interfaces for quicker integration. This provides quicker time to market and overall cost savings.
