Because visible light cameras are not ideal for detecting targets in low visibility conditions such as at night and in fog, research on infrared night vision assistance systems is growing to overcome these limitations. Night vision systems based on infrared sensors have many advantages, specifically the following:
① Infrared night vision systems capture infrared radiation from external targets and are independent of ambient lighting conditions. Any object with a temperature above zero degrees Celsius radiates infrared light.
② Compared to visible light cameras, the resolution, imaging quality, and cost-effectiveness of infrared thermal imagers are continuously improving, leading to their use in an increasing number of surveillance scenarios.
③ Infrared night vision devices operate in all weather conditions, significantly reducing the risks of nighttime driving. They provide clear thermal images of the road ahead in conditions of low visibility, such as complete darkness, rain, snow, fog, and glare from oncoming headlights. This effectively enhances the driver's field of view, helps avoid collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles, and effectively improves driving safety.
For these reasons, automotive infrared night vision technology has received significant attention from major automakers and research institutions both domestically and internationally. As the technology matures, the application of automotive infrared night vision systems is gradually expanding.
