The device we had was 1.3MP--rough the same resolution as the composite image discussed in this article. The camera core was expensive, but the lens actually cost more than the sensor. Yes it was ITAR regulated.

As an example of what I would have expected, this product brief (not the device we were using, but similar) has a picture of the white house https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/m...



Thanks. Interesting link. I must admit I can’t help but admire Lockheed’s marketing with that whitehouse image. There’s a not-so-subtle message in there.

Sounds like super interesting work!!


That's the Capitol building though, not the White House?


probably - I have never actually been to DC


The company is Santa Barbara Focalplane.

They're right around the corner from FLIR and Seek Thermal is right down the street.

Lots of amazing tech in this little town.


I presume that was with 16 bits per pixel, which is not available in consumer cameras.


(That building is the U.S. Capitol rather than the White House.)
