Boson® by TELEDYNE FLIR

Description

The FLIR Boson longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera core is a giant leap forward in thermal imaging performance, size, and price. With its embedded Movidius Myriad 2 12-core image processor, wide range of lens options, physical shutter, and FLIR's XIR™ expandable infrared video processing architecture, it allows system integrators to take their thermal applications to far greater heights. Perform on-board video analytics, drive external sensors and peripherals, and communicate over multiple standard communication interfaces such as USB 3.0 with Boson.

The three different performance grades of the Boson core with a 60 Hz frame rate and its accessories are available now in in our store - see some of the various options below. While we will always have a special place in our hearts for the more compact FLIR Lepton®, the Boson is the core of choice when thermal image processing performance and deep system integrations matters.
