Lesson 4 - Armasight ArmaCORE: Revolutionizing Thermal Optics

When it comes to thermal optics, Armasight is a name that has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation and quality. Our latest breakthrough, the ArmaCORE, is set to redefine the industry standards. Combining cutting-edge technology and advanced engineering, the ArmaCORE promises to offer unparalleled performance while addressing some of the most pressing concerns in the field of thermal optics. We'll dive into the groundbreaking features of the ArmaCORE and explore how it's poised to change the game.

Enhanced Reliability and Streamlined Manufacturing

The ArmaCORE is a technological marvel, integrating a 12μm pixel sensor, powerful image processing capabilities, and a suite of communication interfaces, including wireless communication, GPS, internal memory, WiFi, and USB streaming, all in a single compact device. This self-contained design not only enhances device reliability but also simplifies the manufacturing process, reducing the risk of component failures and ensuring a smoother workflow.

 

Size and Weight Reduction

One of the standout features of the ArmaCORE is its remarkable size and weight reduction. It weighs a mere 7.5 grams and measures just 21mm x 21mm x 19mm. This represents an industry-leading reduction in space without compromising performance. These size and weight reductions translate to more comfortable use and greater portability, making ArmaCORE-equipped devices an ideal choice for professionals who need to stay agile in the field.

 

Improved Resolution and Reduced Power Consumption

ArmaCORE incorporates a 12μm pixel sensor, marking a 40% reduction in pixel size compared to previous-generation sensors. This reduction enhances device resolution, providing users with sharper and more detailed imagery. What's more, this leap in technology results in up to 35% less power consumption. Users can enjoy longer runtimes with smaller batteries and faster recharge cycles, ensuring they can stay on task without worrying about power constraints.

 

Embedded Image Processing

The ArmaCORE's image processing capabilities are truly impressive. Automatic AGC equalizes image dynamic range, ensuring clear visuals even in challenging lighting conditions. The automatic FFC optimizes deep flat field correction for pristine images. Auto colorization is based on a 256-color lookup table, enhancing visual clarity, while 14-bit dynamic range-based grayscale ensures impressive image quality. Image stabilization minimizes the impact of shaking, and digital image enhancements, including gain, gamma, medium, and mean filtering, make every image pop with detail.

 

Versatility and Integration

ArmaCORE is not just small in size; it's big on functionality. It boasts advanced embedded processing and video analytics, as well as customizable software functionality. This allows for seamless integration with auxiliary sensors, third-party cameras, GPS, and IMU, opening up a world of possibilities for professionals in various fields. Whether you're in search and rescue, surveillance, or wildlife observation, ArmaCORE's adaptability will impress.

 

Onboard Image Capture and Recording

ArmaCORE offers convenient onboard image capturing and recording capabilities, with options for external memory via SD or USB, depending on device specifications. Continuous streaming at 30 frames per second over SDIO for WiFi and USB ensures real-time access to critical information. An API is also available for controlling filing systems and image manipulation, putting users in the driver's seat when it comes to data management.

 

Proudly Made in the USA
