Optris has launched its newest system, PI LightWeight, for radiometric recording of video imagery from the air. The system has been specially developed for deployment in micro drones to measure temperatures from the air, making it possible to record and edit high-quality radiometric infrared videos. PI LightWeight is uniquely suited for maintenance work and quality inspections of solar and wind power systems, thermographic surveys of buildings, and many other uses.
Installation PI LightWeight on a drone together with GoPro HD camera.
Optris PI LightWeight is a kit composed of a light-weight PC from the PI NetBox family and an Optris PI400/PI450 infrared camera, fitted with a 62° wide-angle lens. The total weight is only 350 g, which makes the unit ideal for deployment in micro drones. The system offers full radiometric infrared inspection with 382 x 288 pixels at 12 ms per image. A 20 Hz video signal is generated during inspection flights and radio-transmitted to the UAV operator. In parallel, radiometric imagery is stored on a SDHC memory card at a frequency of 35 Hz. A GigE interface is provided to download the video from the light-weight PC after the flight.
The package is completed with versatile Optris PI Connect software for data recording and analysis. Connection of a HD video camera is supported via an additional USB port.
