Meerkat Fusion: True image fusion of VIS, SWIR or LWIR in one powerful surveillance system

Sophisticated vision enhancement, more than just video overlay

 The Meerkat Fusion camera is equipped with three cameras for the visual, short wave (SWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) spectral ranges. Convenient software performs the image fusion of visual and SWIR or LWIR, or alternatively of SWIR and LWIR. This sophisticated technology solution delivers enhanced vision of a scene and can set thermal accentsf in SWIR or visual images. The rugged and protective housing is easy-to-mount with excellent connectivity over PAL/NTSC video or ethernet for digital LAN.

Meerkat Fusion: More than just video overlay

The Meerkat Fusion infrared imaging system is demonstrating one of the latest technology trends with sophisticated vision enhancement. This development is more than just video overlay, especially needed in security applications. The fusion of visual and SWIR or LWIR imaging or alternatively of SWIR and LWIR enhances the vision of a scene and can set thermal accents in SWIR or visual images.

From another point of view it delivers information about the form factor (VIS), the temperature (LWIR) and even about the humidity (SWIR) of an object. This technique can ave many lives for example in early fire detection.

Meerkat Fusion offers the earliest and most reliable detection of the smallest temperature changes and the smallest objects.
