What Are The Main Application Areas Of Infrared Detectors?

Infrared detectors use infrared radiation to create images. Based on the "atmospheric window" through which infrared radiation travels through the atmosphere, infrared applications are categorized into three main categories: shortwave infrared, mediumwave infrared, and longwave infrared. Shortwave infrared utilizes the reflection of shortwave infrared radiation, which is prevalent in the environment, from a target, resulting in images with resolution and detail similar to visible light. Longwave and mediumwave infrared imaging utilizes the thermal radiation emitted by a room-temperature target itself and are used in various infrared thermal imaging devices.


Infrared thermal imagers are primarily divided into two markets: military and civilian. Early applications were in the military. With the development and maturity of infrared imaging technology, low-cost civilian infrared imaging equipment emerged and gained widespread application in the civilian sector. These two markets are relatively independent, and the product types they require differ significantly. The military primarily utilizes high-performance cooled detectors, while the civilian market prefers low-cost uncooled detectors.


Infrared detectors are the core of the infrared industry chain, and their performance directly determines the quality of infrared imaging. Infrared detectors are categorized based on specific needs and applications, with cooled and uncooled detectors being the most common type, depending on cooling requirements. Cooled detectors correspond to photon sensors based on the photoelectric effect. Currently, third-generation cooled infrared photodetectors are primarily made of HgCdTe, quantum well photodetectors (QWIPs), type II superlattices (II-SLs), and quantum dot photodetectors (QDIPs). Uncooled detectors correspond to thermal detectors based on the thermal effect of incident radiation. Commercial uncooled detectors are currently primarily made of vanadium oxide, amorphous silicon, or silicon diodes.

360 panoramic infrared detection equipment

The Onick FZS360 panoramic infrared device integrates surveillance, search, and tracking. It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, enabling surveillance, search, and tracking of air, surface, and ground targets.

Product Features

Portable; Automatic tracking;

360° surveillance; Target identification;

Infrared imaging; Target navigation;

Surveillance zone setting; Fault diagnosis.

1. Utilizes the latest generation of 12µm uncooled infrared detectors or high-performance medium-wave cooled infrared detectors, integrated with leading infrared imaging algorithms, for longer-range, clearer imaging.

2. It can simultaneously track up to 128 targets, providing real-time alerts and tracking for intruders, including people, vehicles, ships, and drones, within a detection radius of up to 8km.

3. The system can integrate with visible light equipment to track and magnify intruders, automatically capturing image information and visualizing them immediately upon detection, providing valuable reference information for decision-makers.

4. It intelligently identifies people, vehicles, ships, and drones, integrating AIS and GIS information to eliminate and overlay targets, filter out clutter, and accurately detect intruders.


Product Highlights

1. Automatic Warning and Full-Range Tracking of Intruders

The infrared panoramic radar system has a maximum detection radius of 5,000m for large targets (B75 target drone, 2m wingspan), 1,000m for small targets, and 2km for small ground vehicles. The system creates a large intruder warning buffer zone outside the detection area, enabling large-scale, long-range automatic detection and early warning of intruders, thus providing more time for target verification and disposal.

2. Intelligent Detection Mechanism for Flexible User Experience

Customizable monitoring areas allow users to set different algorithms for different monitoring areas, reducing false detections and missed detections. Monitoring areas can be saved and imported the next time the software is run, eliminating the need for repeated configuration.

3. Real-time Dynamic Perception, What You See Is What You Get

With a 360° panoramic imaging frame rate of up to 1.6 seconds per week, this WYSIWYG detection method enables integrated monitoring of both static and dynamic targets, as well as automatic detection, tracking, identification, and verification of intrusion targets. This provides real-time on-site situational awareness and threat awareness, resolving the issue of poor real-time linkage between traditional intrusion alarm systems and video surveillance systems. The radar image displays a 360° image. Unlike traditional radars, which only provide target coordinates and display them as "points," the infrared panoramic radar uses a WYSIWYG monitoring method, presenting a real-time 360° monitoring image. This allows users to not only detect targets but also see them, significantly improving dynamic perception capabilities.

4. Large monitoring range, easy equipment installation and maintenance, and strong portability.

A single panoramic infrared radar can achieve the coverage, range, and panoramic imaging resolution of multiple infrared thermal cameras, while reducing the number of devices and system complexity. This system offers high cost-effectiveness and low O&M costs. It also facilitates future modifications, migration, and reuse due to perimeter adjustments, resulting in excellent portability.

5. Real-time target coordinate calculation

The system has target positioning capabilities. After tracking a target, it uses a rangefinder to measure the target's distance in real time. This information is combined with the radar's heading and pitch angles and its own coordinates to calculate the target's coordinates in real time.

Application areas: Portable, vehicle-mounted, or land-based, for key location security, perimeter surveillance, air defense, and counter-drone operations.
