The target customer group is mainly low-end face recognition panel manufacturers (such as clock attendance, access control, gates, etc.) such as this 4-5 inch face recognition panel.

1. Thermal Image Vs. Visual Image

Visible light is an electromagnetic wave that can be seen by humans. Its wavelength range generally falls between 360-400 nm~760-830nm. This electromagnetic spectrum is also called the visible spectrum, and its frequency range is 830-750THz~395-360THz.

Infrared is an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength between microwave and visible light. Its wavelength is between 760 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is an invisible light with a wavelength longer than red light. The frequencies are approximately in the range of 430 THz to 300 GHz.

2. Detector of Thermal Image & Visual Image

For the core detectors of imaging device, visible light devices use the CCD and CMOS detector, while thermal imaging uses cooled and uncooled detector. The main difference is that visible light CCD/CMOS can perceive light waves in the visible light band, and thermal imaging detectors can sense thermal radiation light waves in the infrared band. Infrared thermal imaging detectors are divided into many types according to different manufacturing processes and packaging materials. The more macroscopic feeling is that infrared thermal imaging detectors are more expensive than visible light CCDs.
