Visibility enhancement in dark conditions
Sep 5th, 2022
Our development team at Thexovision is actively working on adding new features to our software library. Poor visibility can be caused not only by some obscurant media like haze or fog, but also dusk/night illumination conditions can present a challenge for regular, visible spectral range cameras. We recently had test sessions within a marine environment where the capabilities of our software was demonstrated in such settings. According to our experience, with some alteration in our already existing algorithm profiles by specifically gearing them towards dark scene input, a significant improvement can be achieved with cameras that are capable of good signal-to-noise performance.
This upcoming feature of our software will add visibility enhancement in dark illumination settings in otherwise clear visibility conditions, so that a visible spectral range camera could be used effectively for night vision with low exposure times and without any active illumination. This feature could be complementary to IR-based night vision, and might be even preferable in certain situations, where high image resolution is needed or a thermal IR signature does not provide adequate information on the imaged objects.
Thexovision is going to conduct further tests at dusk and night time for optimizing visibility enhancement in such situations and according to our plans this feature will be rolled out in a near-future software release.
Thexovision is now a Milestone Technology Partner
