红外成像技术在微型化方面所取得的进步为小型和微型热成像传感器打开了新的市场。红外传感器已攻克尺寸、重量、功耗和成本等壁垒,并在许多热红外成像应用中成为一种得力的工具。这些应用,尤其是用蓄电池工作的红外传感器,在以前是难以实现或者不可能实现的。 Advances in miniaturization of infrared imaging technologies have opened up new markets for small and miniature thermal imaging sensors. Infrared sensors have overcome barriers such as size, weight, power consumption and cost and have become an effective tool for many thermal infrared imaging applications. These applications, especially the use of battery-operated infrared sensors, have previously been difficult or impossible to achieve.
