Dual Band Camera Assembly for Driver’s Vision Enhancement and Situational Awareness
The Minerva dual band sensor is a compact and versatile sensor assembly ideal for driver’s vision enhancement, rear or reversing camera applications, or general situational awareness. This module has a thermal imager integrated with a color/low light day camera. This combination allows enhanced visibility 24 hours per day in all types of weather conditions. Performing with very low-latency, it aids the driver in terrain navigation, obstacle avoidance and route selection. It provides superiority night and day, in adverse weather, obscured or no-light battlefield conditions.
