"We are delighted to be able to include FLIR in our product portfolio and have already seen very positive commercial activity in Europe for world-leading FLIR thermal cores such as Tau® 2, Quark™ 2, PathFindIR™ II and Vue™," says Alex Schneider, Business Development Director of Acal BFi's Imaging Division.
Alex explains, “We are especially excited to offer the revolutionary FLIR Boson thermal core as part of this new collaboration. Its size, weight, and power (SWaP) combination, cutting-edge image generation, and wide range of integrated image processing and interface capabilities make Boson a true innovation in the thermal camera core market. It is the first thermal camera core to incorporate a sophisticated, low-power, multi-core vision processor, making Boson the smartest thermal core on the planet. The FLIR portfolio is an ideal fit for our premium technology offering.”.
FLIR's XIR™ Scalable Infrared Video Processing Architecture, implemented in Boson, helps original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) take advantage of advanced image processing and video analytics while keeping power consumption low. Manufacturers of drones, vehicles, weapon sights, and handheld cameras will now have the ability to process video, allowing Boson to perform tasks that previous cores could not.
"It's ideal to work with Acal BFi because of their extensive experience in developing and distributing thermal imaging solutions and applications, gained over 20 years as an industry leader," said Bill Terre, Vice President of OEM at FLIR. "Acal BFi understands thermal imaging and its integration into a wide variety of applications.".
