China Salvage is the main force of professional maritime rescue and salvage, responsible for emergency response, life rescue, ship and property rescue, sunken ship and sunken object salvage, maritime firefighting, oil spill pollution removal, and other missions to provide safety guarantees for maritime transportation and resource development in China's waters.
Thermal imager assisted rescue and salvage applications
So, it is necessary to enhance the rescue capability of China's rescue team. In addition to improving its hardware equipment and equipping large ships, it is also necessary to build supporting facilities and equipment to meet the needs of rescue tasks and enhance the rescue and salvage capabilities of China's marine rescue team in territorial waters.
Thermal infrared remote sensing technology is currently a widely used monitoring technology. All substances, as long as their temperature exceeds absolute zero, will continuously emit infrared energy outward. Thermal infrared remote sensing technology is the use of onboard or airborne sensors to collect and record thermal infrared information of targets, and use this thermal infrared information to identify ground targets and reflect surface parameters such as temperature, humidity, and thermal inertia.
In marine environments where light cannot meet visible requirements, due to the inability of humans and machines to conceal heat, FLIR onboard thermal infrared sensors can effectively distinguish the conditions on the sea surface and obtain clear display images, often with higher clarity than those observed in the visible light band.
Visible light vs thermal imaging
Therefore, the FLIR maritime thermal imager provides powerful assistance for marine rescue in remote detection, monitoring, search, rescue, and evidence collection.
Introduction to M500 Refrigerated High Performance Sensor Thermal Imaging System
Near and Long Range Vision
·Refrigerated infrared detector and continuous optical zoom navigation aid function, identifying distant ships, discovering ships or navigation aids.
·Active gyro stabilization provides stable images on rough seas, simplifying target recognition and enhancing situational awareness.
·FLIR thermal imaging technology enables captains to quickly identify nearby buoys and detect key landmarks, such as islands or docks.
Enhanced target recognition
·Video target tracking can automatically lock the M500 onto moving or stationary targets.
·Radar linkage allows the M500 to automatically track selected radar targets.
Enhanced Definition
·High performance thermal imagers and visible light camera payloads for detection and visible recognition.
·Thermal imaging with 14 times optical zoom and a field of view of 2 ° to 28 ° can achieve long-range target detection.
·Use a 30x zoom, 64 ° to 2.3 ° HFoV high-definition color visual camera to identify remote targets.
·The integrated spotlight of the M500 uses LED beams to illuminate nearby targets.
Application of maritime salvage and rescue
Quickly locate the person who fell into the water
It is easy to quickly identify people who have fallen into the water
The FLIR thermal imager can check the navigation situation in complete darkness even without lighting, avoiding collisions, identifying suspicious ships, and checking for onboard activities.
The FLIR thermal imager provides information on situations that cannot be captured by other low light technologies. The video recording and real-time video streaming functions enable the command center to remotely monitor and command rescue operations and collect video evidence.
The FLIR thermal imager allows crew members more time to respond by identifying suspicious or threatening behavior. Monitor from a safe standoff distance and enter at the appropriate time.
