Description

The FLIR Boson+ 320 is an uncooled LWIR thermal module that offers a compact, high-performance solution for demanding applications. With a resolution of 320 × 256 pixels and a pixel size of 12 µm, it delivers excellent image quality with a NETD (thermal sensitivity) ≤ 20 mK, allowing for the detection of very small temperature differences even in challenging environments.

This module has been designed to maintain mechanical, optical, and electrical compatibility with the Boson series, making it easy to upgrade from previous models or integrate into existing systems. Its low-power architecture and compact form factor ensure that it can be incorporated into small platforms without compromising performance.

Among its most notable features:

  • Selectable video outputs: USB, CMOS, or MIPI, compatible with various digital interfaces.

  • Low latency in image transmission, ideal for real-time applications.

  • Full radiometric control from the module, including calibration, histogram, uniformity correction, and other key functions.

  • Wide operating temperature range (demanding field conditions) and mechanical protection designed for industrial environments.

  • Ideal for applications such as unmanned vehicles (UAVs/UGVs), surveillance and security, industrial inspection, portable solutions, and embedded thermal imaging analysis.

With the FLIR Boson+ 320, you get a thermal imaging module that strikes the right balance between image quality and technical performance—perfect when you need compact, reliable solutions with high radiometric accuracy.
