Certainty you're correct as always. We will have a few of the latest surprises from FLIR at our Shot Show Booth 6502 next week.

LOL, I would NOT be surprised if you can detect mammals out to 100 yards with this device and would be excellent for searching for wounded animals at night who got as far as their last breath.
Also, this new Lepton core is not like any other core, and the correlation between core pixel size and germanium lens size may or may not be as directly related as they are in the Tau cores....who knows, but we will soon find out as I will be at SHOT next week and FLIR GS booth is right across the isle from where I am!
So what's the official words on detection range for people out in the open field?
but can you see farts?
Did I say that I love my job?

You know, here I am reading this thread trying to learn about something that is totally foreign to me and in the middle of all of the technical jargon I read this..... I love this site!

Surgeon, don't you have an IPhone and need a thermal at this particular time? LOL
Wow, now that is impressive coming from a phone. You sir by far have some of the best looking thermal images with your home built cameras that I've seen anywhere. I bet the price if you sold them would be equally impressive.
Slapchop, thank you for your good words. The state of the LWIR technology is accelerating rapidly on reduced size and modularity, both of which are key attributes for lower price and portability in multi-sensor IR imaging. There's a dual-band imager that I have worked out on a Samsung (with 3D presentation) that would knock your socks off, but because we are developing it for a government project, I cannot show it publicly.
The imaging on the iPhone and iPad shown is LWIR only, but showcases how a thermal core actually collects much more data than your eyes can discriminate - and with the right image processing technology, it is possible to present levels of detail that extend well into what's useful for identification, which has typically been a weakness of thermal imaging compared to i^2 night vision. But, as you can see, the gap is rapidly closing!
