Thermal camera lenses is useful for monitoring physiological activities, including the detection of fever and disease. This can enable improvement in patient care as well as control at borders in the event of a contagious outbreak. Thermal camera lenses is ubiquitous for industrial applications, including gas leak detection, building inspection, predictive maintenance, and process control.
“Smart buildings” leverage thermal activity sensors to bring intelligence to building systems, e.g., lighting, HVAC, alarms, that improves efficiency, enhances occupant comfort, and optimizes workspace management. “Smart cities” use thermal imagers to enable real-time monitoring of transport systems, traffic management, and power grids with the goal of improving quality of life and optimizing city functions.
The automotive camera market is driven by the new trend of autonomous cars. Thermal camera lenses can play a key role for pedestrian recognition and obstacle warning, particularly when driving in total darkness or in tunnels.
