Active goggles project infrared light (the same type used by most television remote control ), and produce an image from the light reflected back. These goggles may require an image enhancer to amplify the light. This feature is commonly found on home video cameras , as it suits most consumers' needs for seeing in the dark. Pointing a remote control (such as a television 's) at this type of system produces a glaringly bright image, due to the infrared light emitter used in these devices. This is hardly used in military context, as the enemy may have instruments to detect the infrared spotlight. | |
There are currently goggles that combine both of these technologies to create images that are almost as clear as day. In addition to goggles, night vision technology is also used in rifle scopes , security cameras , binoculars , etc. An image intensifier is a device that amplifies visible and near-infrared light from an image so that a dimly lit scene can be viewed by a camera or by eye . Unlike a thermographic camera , an image intensifier does not work in the total absence of visible (or near infra-red) light. It does, however, create a more realistic image, because the intensities it shows are related to true optical intensity and not to temperature . This realism makes it more suitable for use by untrained operators and can be used to view objects not visible by a difference in temperature alone. Image intensifiers are also much less expensive than thermal imaging. |
