Thermal imaging technology and applications in turkey

Abstract

OzetgeSon yillardq modem ordular mafindan elektro-optik sistemlerine duyulan ihtiyaq bu alandaki ara$hrma / geli$tirme faaliyetlerine hiz kazandmni$tir. Ulkemizin en biiyUk savunma sanayi k u~l~g~ olan ASELSAN, bu kritik teknoloji alaninda iistiin performansli, tamamen yerli iiriinler tararlayip, iiretmektedir. Bu qalqmada, optik, mekanik, elektronik ve yarilim disiplinlerini biinyesinde banndrran, iistiin g6riintU i$leme teknikleri kullanilarak, ASELSAN tarafindan tasarlanip, iiretilen Sahingiizii Elektro-Optik Sensiir Sistemi tanittlmaktadir. AbstractElectro-optical system requirements for modem armies speed up many research and development (R & D) programs in this field during the last couple of decades. ASELSAN, Turkey's biggest defence company, has been creating high performance indigenous designs in this technology field. In this study, the design and implementation of the indigenous thermal imaging system by ASELSAN, Sahingozii Elektm-Optical Sensor System, is covered. This system includes the cooperative work of engineers from optics, mechanics, electronics and software disciplines and implements intense image processing algorithms.
