MODAR- The innovative Multi-sensor system

for optimum vision in darkness, fog, rain or snow

The multi-sensor system developed by OptoPrecision combines all the camera technologies that
are the norm on the market with our innovative laser-assisted lighting technology. With the integrated visual axis stabilisation, MODAR can be implemented on various ships, vehicles or other carriers at sea or on land.

The modular device concept makes it possible to adjust camera channels to specific areas of application.The georeferenced image acquisition of objects or situations is possible for distances of up to 12 km, also with laser lighting. The system offers the best possible visibility in nearly all weather and lighting conditions.

Range-gated-technology

The Range-gated camera system by OptoPrecision is developed specially for improved visibility in darkness and other atmospheric interferences such as fog, rain or snow, for example.

Range-gated systems combine two essential components with each other: a set, very short laser pulse and a special camera. The camera exposure is ensured in the nanosecond range by a control unit developed by OptoPrecision.

The targeted synchronisation of the laser pulse and the camera makes it possible to light a partial area determined by the distance and acquire an image in which atmospheric interferences before the partial area observed are suppressed.

Interfering light sources and light reflections, such as when looking through fog, rain, snow or window panes, can be minimised, which make a decisive improvement to the image quality.
