Night vision technologies have been available to people for quite some time. Despite this, they continue to develop actively and become more advanced each time. This year alone, many innovative projects have been presented that can change our understanding of night technologies. Let’s look at the most impressive innovations and determine their benefits for humanity.
Night optics with ultra-thin infrared filters
One of the most impressive innovations in night vision technologies was the emergence of an innovative infrared filter. Its peculiarity lies in the minimum thickness, less than 10 micrometers. Due to this, this filter becomes as light as possible and can be integrated into any modern night optics AGM Global Vision. Under certain conditions, the new development can be used even on ordinary glasses. With its help, people can gain the ability to see infrared light without losing the efficiency of normal vision. New infrared filters can potentially be used in dozens of areas of activity and bring many benefits to humanity. Due to their versatility, they will be in demand among the military and civilians.
Night vision with artificial intelligence
Nowadays, it has become fashionable to use the capabilities of artificial intelligence everywhere. Night vision technologies are no exception. AI takes an active part in their development, allowing them to improve various devices’ capabilities and expand their application’s range. In modern night optics, artificial intelligence processes images obtained in non-ideal environmental conditions. Thanks to multiple algorithms, it can achieve improved clarity, brightness and detail. Such a development is beneficial. The military of various units actively uses it, which is in demand among civilians. With its help, it is possible to improve the safety of driving, the efficiency of rescue operations, the quality of certain types of work and much more.
Night optics with organic light-emitting diode
The organic light-emitting diode technology, which has long been known to people, has finally begun to be used in night vision devices. It has made it possible to make them more compact and lighter compared to classic models. This technology is most often used in night vision goggles. With it, they become more convenient and more accessible to use. Due to the reduced weight and size, such optics are ideal for use over a long period. It also makes it possible to get a more accurate color rendition (if the device uses not monochrome but color night vision), optimal brightness and contrast. Another advantage of OLED is the ability to slightly reduce the cost of night optics, making it more affordable. The new product can be used in any civil and military activity area.
Combination of night vision and thermal imaging
Various innovative solutions have allowed developers of night optics to combine thermal imaging and night vision. The new devices have become as versatile as possible and suitable for use in various fields of activity. Initially, this optics forms two separate images. Then, with the help of special software, they are superimposed on each other and create a more informative picture. This feature makes the devices effective in any lighting conditions. Even in complete darkness, they can give the user a high-quality picture examining small details. The new development will help rescuers, security guards, police officers, military personnel, and representatives of many other professions do their work.
Night vision technology has been rapidly developing for many years. Thanks to this, we see dozens of innovations every year that amaze even experienced specialists. These innovations can potentially benefit humanity and solve many of its problems.
