Flir Systems has released version 4.2 of its ResearchIR thermal imaging software, designed to provide researchers and scientists with a powerful tool for viewing, acquiring, analysing, and sharing thermal data captured with Flir's scientific and R&D cameras.
ResearchIR Max is a version of ResearchIR software for advanced users who need more analytical functionality in their research. ResearchIR Max version 4.2 gives users direct access to their MatLab scripts within ResearchIR, enabling them to access their customised MatLab scripts directly in ResearchIR for specially-tailored image analysis and processing tasks.
The software provides Flir scientific and R&D thermal camera users with UltraMax file support. UltraMax is a proprietary image enhancement technology available on Flir’s Tsc-series thermal imaging cameras. It captures a series of thermal images and combines the data into one new image using ResearchIR 4.2 software, resulting in a quadrupling of thermal imaging pixels, including full radiometric measurement data. With this facility, images that are captured with a 640 x 480 pixel resolution thermal imaging camera can now be transformed into an ultra-sharp 1,280 x 960 pixel resolution image. With version 4.2, the software can now be activated either with a USB key or directly online.
In addition to these new features, the software already includes a number of features for detailed thermal analysis including multiple analysis tools with user defined settings for detailed data examination; flexible measurement modes; chart, graph and plot reporting; and statistical tables allowing users to view detailed image quantitative data for the image analysis tools.
