Solutions to win: Ukraine creates thermal imaging camera for drones and robotic systems without Chinese components
The company says it designed the new camera for unmanned and robotic systems that use computer vision. In particular, it can be used in:
The camera is already available for pre-order.
One of the Oko Pro's features is support for a dual MIPI CSI-2 and USB 2.0 interface. This allows the device to transmit uncompressed Y16 video for artificial intelligence algorithms and a processed 8-bit video stream for operators simultaneously.
The developers add that the built-in video processing system provides ultra-low signal transmission latency — less than 17 milliseconds at 60 Hz or less than 34 milliseconds at 30 Hz. This allows automated systems to detect and track targets more quickly.
The Oko Pro line uses a thermal imaging sensor with a 640×480-pixel resolution and a 17-micron pixel size. The sensor's sensitivity of up to 30 mK ensures high image detail even at long distances and in difficult weather conditions.
The series includes seven models with lens focal lengths ranging from 6 to 150 millimeters.
The cameras are compatible with popular Raspberry Pi platforms, including the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, Compute Module, and Zero models, as well as NVIDIA Jetson systems.
Background
It should be noted that Ukrainian company Tencore is working on an artificial intelligence module for the Termit 2.0 ground robotic system. The module will allow the platform to move along a route independently, even if it loses GPS navigation and its connection with the operator.
