Intended use
The optris PI LightWeight kit consists of a miniaturized lightweight Linux computer (Recording box) and
a weight-optimized PI400 LW, PI450 LW or PI640 LW infrared camera. The system is ideally suited for
UAV based radiometric infrared recordings. It can be used for applications like maintenance work and
quality inspections of solar and wind power systems and for building thermography.
The Recording box works with a Linux operating system that allows on-flight recording of infrared videos
with the maximum speed of the camera.
The optris PI 400 LW, 450 LW or 640 LW measures the surface temperature based on the emitted
infrared energy of objects [►Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA -
focal plane array) allows a measurement of an area which will be shown as thermal image using
standardized color palettes. The radiometric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a
comfortable detailed analysis with the software PI Connect retrospectively.
