Definitions
•
•
An infrared thermal camera is a thermal system which converts infrared (IR)
radiation into visible image.
The main parts of an IR camera are:
Camera
•
•
•
Camera core (with
Imager/sensor
Pixel
electronics and
sometimes IR lenses)
(Uncooled Focal
Plane Array - UFPA)
(each sensor is
made of an array
thousands of pixels)
Cores are the modules that include imagers + electronics and sometimes lenses.
Without lenses it is also called a video engine.
Imagers are also called UFPA (Uncooled Focal Plane Arrays) or IR sensors.
Detectors provide only a detection signal and not image, and are covered in Yole’s
2013 report on IR detectors market & technology trends.
An imager can have various formats (1024 x 768 to 16 x 16) and pixel pitch (usually
from 17µ to 40µ in 2012).

Market Research Scope and Methodology
• Market research scope
– The report surveys the Long Wave Infrared (called LWIR or FIR)
uncooled imaging camera and imager markets for both commercial
and military businesses.
– See Yole “Infrared detector market” 2013 report for in-depth analysis
of IR detectors applications & technologies (from one to 100x100
pixels).
– An overview of the Near Infrared (NIR), Short Wave Infrared (SWIR),
and Medium Wave Infrared (MWIR) technologies is also presented.
– Market forecasts are done for the 2013 – 2018 period in shipments
(units) and in revenue ($M).
• Methodology:
– This research has been prepared based on:
• Primary information sources: direct interviews with companies all along the value
chain (imager manufacturers, camera manufacturers, camera distributors, final
users).
• Secondary information sources: conferences, web sites, newsletters....
– All data, graphs, tables, and calculations in this report are based on
Yole Développement’s investigation.
