Abstract:

Historically, researchers and engineers have faced the challenge of choosing between recording and analyzing visible-light or thermal data during testing. While visible-light imaging provides structural and contextual information, thermal data reveals heat signatures and thermal patterns. Attempting to capture both sets of data and manually align them spatially—or even more challenging, synchronize them temporally—has proven to be both inconsistent and time-consuming, often yielding more questions than answers.

The FLIR Multispectral Imaging Xperience (MIX) introduces a groundbreaking solution, empowering researchers and engineers to seamlessly analyze, interpret, and share complex thermal data with enhanced accuracy. By effortlessly blending thermal and visible-light imagery, the system captures and synchronizes high-speed data at over 1,000 frames per second. This integration ensures a single, cohesive dataset with precise spatial and temporal alignment—eliminating missed details and reducing uncertainties, ultimately providing comprehensive insights into fast-moving phenomena.

The presentation will outline the technical details of the FLIR MIX system and showcase how these purpose-built solutions are designed to synchronize high-speed thermal and visible-light imagery with precision, delivering the insights researchers need to push the boundaries of discovery.
