Overview of the UL3 Omega(Trademark) Uncooled Camera and its Applications

Abstract

When it was first introduced two years ago, Indigo Systems Corporation's UL3 Alpha(trademark), a miniature uncooled infrared camera, set new standards for ultra-low size, weight and power within the thermal imaging industry. Now Omega(trademark), the next generation in Indigo's UL3 product line, takes advantage of novel algorithms and packaging concepts to further reduce size, weight, and power while still improving performance. These qualities make Omega(tm) an ideal candidate for many commercial and military applications, including fire-fighting, law enforcement, industrial inspection, remote surveillance, miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and numerous other possibilities. This paper describes the design, performance and salient features of the Omega(tm) camera. Current and future applications of the UL3 product line are also discussed.
