FLIR introduces new solution in thermal imaging with MERLIN ASX image enhancement software
One of the consistent challenges to thermal imaging in high temperature environments is atmospheric turbulence, or scintillation, which can reduce the effective range of a sensor. As the world leader in thermal imaging technologies, FLIR is constantly working to extend the performance of our sensors, and is proud to introduce a solution to this challenge at IDEX 2015: MERLIN ASX image enhancement software.

A new feature of the industry-leading MERLIN mission analytics and video processing nexus, MERLIN ASX adds powerful anti-scintillation technology that greatly improves imaging performance in hot climates. MERLIN ASX extends your vision like never before.
 
 

Fully integrated and embedded within Ranger HDC and Ranger HRC ground-based infrared imaging systems, MERLIN ASX provides operators with greater range performance and sharper scene detail to deliver earlier threat identification and response. Because it is integrated into the imager itself, MERLIN ASX processes raw video as opposed to compressed outputs for higher fidelity and clear video without extra equipment or latency.

The anti-scintillation filtering ensures vastly improved image quality in hot environments, has an extended performance range and is able to identiy and assess threat levels more reliably.

Merlin ASX upgrade improves overall system performance. The clear video allows other on-board systems to work better. Moreover, the DDE is more effective, as well as the automatic target tracking.

FLIR's Merlin ASX is a fully embedded solution thank's to a processed raw thermal imagery, the emptiness of external equipment required and of latency.

FLIR is committed to innovation and is pleased to deliver such advanced capabilities within our Commercially Developed, Military Qualified (CDMQ®) business model to our valued partners in the UAE and other Gulf states,” said Kevin Tucker, General Manager of FLIR’s Surveillance division. “By introducing these new solutions, FLIR is helping operators in the region and around the world cover more ground with fewer assets and capture higher detail imagery crucial to addressing and stopping threats."

The MERLIN ASX-enabled system is on live display at FLIR’s IDEX Chalet #CP-331 at IDEX 2015 exhibition.
