Understanding Infrared Detector Pixel Pitch: Why Pixel Size Matters in Thermal Imaging If you’ve ever compared thermal imaging cameras or infrared modules, you’ve probably come across specifications such as 12μm, 15μm, or 17μm Pixel Pitch. For many newcomers, these numbers can be confusing. Does a smaller pixel automatically produce a better image? Why do some high-end thermal cameras still use larger pixels? How does pixel pitch affect image quality, detection distance, lens size, and overall system performance? The truth is that pixel pitch is one of the most important specifications of an infrared detector, but it is also one…

Infrared Thermal Imaging in the Automotive Industry: Applications, Benefits, and Future Trends Introduction As vehicles become smarter and more connected, automotive manufacturers are constantly searching for technologies that improve driving safety, reliability, and intelligent perception. One technology that has gained significant attention in recent years is infrared thermal imaging. Originally developed for military, aerospace, and industrial inspection, automotive infrared thermal imaging systems are now becoming an essential part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving platforms, electric vehicle diagnostics, and vehicle manufacturing. Unlike traditional cameras that rely on visible light, thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by…
