Teledyne FLIR, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, has launched development kits for seamless integration of the FLIR Hadron 640R thermal and visible dual camera module. These kits include hardware and reference software drivers that support development boards such as the NVIDIA Jetson Nano and the Qualcomm RB5, and Snapdragon 865.
The development kits for quick and seamless integration of the FLIR Hadron 640R thermal and visible dual camera module feature hardware and reference software drivers compatible with development boards supporting the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, the Qualcomm RB5, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge embedded systems. Integrators can open up new possibilities for their intelligent sensing applications, all while saving valuable time and costs.
Equipped with a small radiometric Boson® thermal camera module with 640×512 resolution, the Hadron 640R can detect the temperature of every pixel in the scene. This will enable users to see through total darkness, smoke, most fog, and glare. It is also paired with a 64MP visible electro-optical (EO) camera for high-definition visible imagery. New development kits allow integrators to start imaging and controlling cameras within hours, reducing development time and cost significantly. It is a suitable dual-sensor payload for integrating into unmanned systems such as UAS, UGVs, and robots. It is also ideal for AI-ready applications where efficient battery run-time and battery life are mission-critical.
Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R Development Kits: Maximizing Efficiency for Embedded Systems Innovation
According to Michael Walters, Vice President of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR, “The powerful Hadron 640R development kits provide integrators industry-leading thermal and visible camera operation using both Linux and Android application development. Combining development kits with the size, weight, and power-optimized Hadron 640R maximises efficiency for developers at every stage. Additionally, the Teledyne FLIR technical services team provides support for integration.”
The Hadron 640R has a low steady-state power consumption of 1.8W. With its IP-54 rating, a 56-gram camera module is an excellent option for extended battery time in a compact design. The plug-and-play development solution allows for same-day operation and comes with interface boards, cabling hardware, and reference software drivers.
The Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R development kits are now available worldwide from Teledyne FLIR and its authorized dealers. With the new development kit, integrators can unlock the potential of embedded systems and innovate their intelligent sensing applications.
