What is Night Vision?
Night vision is a safety feature, it actually alerts the driver when an object is located in the front of the vehicle. Night vision vehicles are comprises infrared sensors, and they are placed in the grille of the car. The purpose of the sensor is to capture the video in the IR light spectrum to see objects before the driver can see them in the headlights. The whole video captured by the IR sensor is displayed on the dashboard. A special algorithm of AI is the part of this sensor so that it detects, humans, large objects, and other hurdles.
Active Night Vision Technology?
The vehicles having night vision technology includes both active and passive features. These features are helpful to protect passengers, pedestrians, animals, and drivers at night. An infrared illuminator is used by Active night vision technology. An infrared illuminator is actually a bunch or cluster of sensors and they are just like a headlamp. Their purpose is to make the IR spectrum on the road. Their main purpose is to produce fine and clear images for the driver. But there is another technology named passive night vision which is far better than active night vision technology.
Passive Night Vision Technolgy?
This technology is more common than active night vision and it is used to capable vehicles to see in the night. Its main feature is that it utilizes heat for the detection of objects. The captured images are displayed in lighter colors. It is a long-range detection device but it can’t work in hot environments.
Visible Range of Night Vision Cameras?
The vehicles having night vision cameras, actually have a wide range in their viewing distances. Range depends on the model of the sensor and version of night vision technology. Usually, night vision ranges are thirty-three feet to one thousand feet. An active night vision sensor ranges from 394 feet to 656 feet and the visible range of passive sensors is more than active sensors they are from 300 to 1000 feet. Actually, visibility depends on the weather conditions. Inclement weather disturbs the visible range of the vehicle.
How Can I Add the feature of Night Vision To My Car?
It is possible when the company of your car has night vision technology, for your model of vehicle.
