Verification of applicability of long focal MWIR infrared camera

Infrared cameras play an important role in various fields, such as research and development, inspection and surveillance, and the higher the performance of an infrared camera, the more important the specifications are. However, in the field of long-range surveillance, it is difficult to strictly grasp the performance of infrared cameras because those are affected by atmospheric conditions. The performance of DRI (Detection, Recognition, Identification), one of the specifications used in infrared cameras for surveillance, is merely a simulated value from each company. In this verification, we used a MWIR long focal infrared camera to verify whether there was any difference between the simulation values in a real environment and the actual usage conditions.
