HIKMICRO, an expert in temperature measurement and detection, has launched its SuperIR technology, promising “unprecedented enhancements in thermal imaging.” The company says SuperIR technology features cutting-edge advancements that will transform the way professionals in the electrical, plumbing and heating industries perform diagnostics and maintenance.
SuperIR is said to provide a ‘staggering resolution’ when increasing the resolution of an image by a factor of 4x or more in real-time while preserving the clarity and detail of thermal images.
The technology is available on HIKMICRO’s ECO Series and Pocket2 products.
The SuperIR image enhancement technology upscales thermal images when viewing live with 25 Hz fast image frequency and image capturing on these products. Using SuperIR, a 96 × 96 (9,216 pixels) Eco Series thermal camera can be turned into an ultra-sharp thermal camera with up to 240 x 240 (57,600 pixels) resolution. Likewise, a 256 x 192 Pocket2 image can be converted to 640 x 480 pixels via SuperIR algorithm.
Plumbers and HVAC professionals could use the technology to diagnose issues within heating systems, detect leaks and blockages in pipes, or assess insulation quality in buildings.
