Calumino is making waves in the thermal imaging industry by providing cost-effective solutions designed for IoT deployments. Recently showcased in an ipXchange interview at Wirepas OPEN 2024, Calumino’s innovations are set to redefine how infrared sensing is applied in smart environments.
Bridging the Thermal Imaging Gap
Traditional thermal imaging technologies often present a dilemma between high costs and limited capabilities. Calumino’s solution offers a balanced alternative, delivering a superior signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional thermopile-based solutions. The low-resolution thermal image sensor (28 x 15 pixels) ensures privacy by producing unidentifiable images, and Calumino’s edge-AI algorithms enhance functionality with anonymous person detection and counting.
Applications
- Smart Buildings: Optimize energy use by adjusting heating or cooling based on real-time occupancy data.
- Care Settings: Ensure safety and compliance in environments like hospitals and holding cells.
- Privacy: The sensor can operate behind opaque films, offering users peace of mind that their privacy is maintained.
Technical Highlights
- Sensor Technology: CTS Generation 2.2
- Field of View: Options at 30°, 60°, and 140°
- Detection Range: Up to 45 m for a person of 1.7 m height (30° FOV)
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi enabled with data transmitted via MQTT or UART
