Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array Photodetector
The Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array (BSTFA) photodetector is a type of sensor that possesses unique properties for extreme photon gathering capabilities. This means it can collect light even in very low-light conditions. The BSTFA detector is often incorporated into advanced imaging systems to enhance their sensitivity and ability to capture images in low-light scenarios.
For instance, the BSTFA photodetector has been used in the ColorVision® system, which is designed to provide color night vision capabilities. This system integrates the highly sensitive BSTFA photodetector to achieve improved imaging performance during nighttime or in environments with limited light availability.
MultiLayer Digiscan
The MultiLayer Digiscan Image Sequencing (MDIS) is a proprietary technology used for real-time HD video processing.
MultiLayer Digiscan technology involves scanning digital images across multiple layers, to extract, enhance, or combine information from different layers of the image or from multiple frames. Image Sequencing process is done in a sequence, which means that it processes multiple frames in a sequence to produce a smoother, clearer, or more detailed output.
When combined with the Broad Spectrum Thin Film Array (BSTFA) photodetector, which is designed for extreme photon gathering capabilities, the MDIS technology enhances the video output by processing the captured light in real-time. This combination ensures that the imaging system can capture high-quality, full color, images or videos in low-light conditions, making it particularly useful for applications like night vision.
In our ColorVision® system, MDIS plays a crucial role in ensuring that the video feed is not only sensitive to low light but also clear and high-definition. This real-time HD video processing capability allows for immediate viewing and analysis of the captured footage, which can be critical in scenarios like surveillance, security, or remote imaging.
Custom Integration Into Any System
The X27’s sensor can be integrated into night vision sights, scopes, monoculars, binoculars, drivers aid, UAV, UAS, unmanned systems, and a wide array of defense, homeland security, border, ground, mobile, marine, airborne, military, wildlife, documentary, specialty combat camera photography, Astro/aerial/airborne/space remote imaging, aurora borealis, security, and surveillance applications.
The X27’s ability to see true color at night opens up a plethora of tactical advantages previously not available. It can aid in target discrimination, combat identification, situational awareness, force protection, and extreme low light color HD visualization in daylight to starlight conditions.
Market Insights
The global Low-Light Imaging HD 4K Color night vision Technology market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period of 2023-2028. The market is driven by the increasing demand for high-quality imaging in a variety of applications, as well as advances in sensor technology and image processing algorithms.
