In St. Petersburg, a high-speed space scanning system has been developed for the protection of territories and the search for missing persons. Scientists from ITMO University claim that it is more efficient and cost-effective compared to analogs.
The new device, named “Girovisor-T,” is a thermal imager that creates a thermal vision panorama of the surrounding environment every two seconds, highlighting objects of different temperatures. Unlike other similar systems, this development has a higher scanning speed while remaining reliable and cost-effective in production.
The main feature of the “Girovisor-T” system is its ability to operate at high resolution, generating a panorama of 12.5 thousand by 370 pixels in two seconds. This is achieved through the use of an opto-mechanical system that allows the device to operate for an extended period without technical maintenance. The system also boasts low power consumption, not exceeding 10 watts.
