Night Vision

PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Night Vision

  • Night vision is the ability to see in low light
  • Combination of two ability:
  • 1-Sufficient spectral range
  • 2-Sufficient intensity range
  • Has two types

Biological Night Vision

  • Effective by absorbing light
  • A tissue layer called the tapetum lucidum 
  • Humans lack of it
  • Nocturnal mammals have unique properties 

Technological Night vision

  •     3 main categories
  • 1-Image Intersification
  • 2-Active Illumination
  • 3-Thermal Imaging

Image Intensification

  • Magnifying the amount of received photons
  • Night glasses or low light cameras

Active ıllumination

  • coupling imaging intensification technology 
  • with an active source of illumination
  • low light cameras

Thermal ımaging

  • Detecting the temperature difference 
  • Some organisms are able to sense a crude thermal image
