Using its internet of things (IoT) thermal imaging sensor, Optimet has developed a thermal Wi-Fi camera that the company says is 35% less than the lowest cost comparable thermal image sensor. The thermal imaging is also used in a computer vision-enabled thermal imaging device, called the HemaVision that the company expects to offer at a sixth of the price of typical thermal imagers. The imaging system automatically enhances images for the diagnosis of building and equipment problems.
HemaVision uses both a thermal sensor array and a visible light sensor array (basically a regular camera). With a unique shutterless 82×62 thermal diode array, Optimet claims the HemaVision has the best thermal sensitivity in its class and is the best option for a computer vision-enabled imager.
The HemaVision project is currently funded on Kickstarter and is taking pre-orders until May 4th.
