Micro size low cost thermal camera for small UAVs.
General Description
Lepton is a complete long-wave infrared (LWIR)
camera module designed to interface easily into
native mobile-device interfaces and other consumer
electronics. It captures infrared radiation input in its
nominal response wavelength band (from 8 to 14
microns) and outputs a uniform thermal image.
Features
â– 8.5 x 8.5 x 5.6 mm (without socket),
10.6 x 10.6 x 5.9 mm (including socket)
fixed focus camera module
â– 51-deg HFOV, 63.5-deg diagonal
■LWIR sensor, wavelength 8 to 14 μm
■80 (h) × 60 (v) active pixels
â– Thermal sensitivity, <50 mK
â– Integrated digital thermal image processing
functions, including automatic thermal
environment compensation, noise filters,
non-uniformity correction, and gain control
â– Optional temperature-stable output to
support radiometric processing
â– Export compliant frame rate (< 9 Hz)
â– MIPI and SPI video interfaces
â– Two-wire I2C-like serial-control interface
â– Uses standard cell-phone-compatible power
supplies: 2.8V to sensor, 1.2V to digital core,
and flexible IO from 2.5V to 3.1V
â– Fast time to image (< 0.5 sec)
â– Low operating power, nominally 150 mW
(< 190 mW over temperature range)
â– Low power standby mode
â– RoHS compliant
â– 32-pin socket interface to standard Molex or
similar side-contact connector
Applications
â– Mobile phones
â– Gesture recognition
â– Building automation
â– Thermal imaging
â– Night vision
