TLDR
In this article, an abnormality detection support device, suitable for a case where rescue operations are made under situations that visibility is disturbed by smoke due to fire, includes an infrared camera, a display which, at least when the infrared camera is in use, comes to be positioned in front of a user's eyes and reproduces an image taken by the IR camera thereon and a face protector or a helmet.Abstract:
An abnormality detection support device, suitable for a case where rescue operations are made under situations that visibility is disturbed by smoke due to fire, includes an infrared camera, a display which, at least when the infrared camera is in use, comes to be positioned in front of a user's eyes and reproduces an image taken by the infrared camera thereon and a face protector or a helmet, on which the infrared camera and the display are provided, and the infrared camera and the display are arranged to be within an outline of the user's head in a front view when the device is put on the user. The present invention can, therefore, provide the abnormality detection support device which enables an operator to work with both hands available while directly watching the infrared image even under a circumstance that smoke or the like due to occurrence of fire disturbs the field of vision of the operator, and has excellent usability.read more

Video enhanced night vision goggle
TL;DR: In this article, a man portable video enhanced night vision goggle comprised of a head mount assembly, an image intensified video camera, and a display was provided, and the images from the video camera and the thermal camera may be electronically fused on the display.
Patent
Image intensifier and LWIR fusion/combination system
TL;DR: In this paper, an infrared imaging device combines two sensors, each sensor sensitive to a different spectral range of infrared radiation, in a single camera sharing one of three common optical apertures, thus parallax is eliminated between the sensors.
Patent
Night vision imaging system adapted for helmet mounting
TL;DR: In this article, a night vision imaging system for mounting on a helmet is described, which can be flipped up and away from the eyes of a user when not in use or can be "flipped down" in front of the user's eyes when in use.
Patent
Miniature infrared camera
TL;DR: In this paper, a miniaturized IR camera mounted within a vehicle such as an airborne reconnaissance airplane is described, which includes a two dimensional uncooled FPA, a compound lens for imaging IR radiation onto the FPA and an electronic module that controls camera read out, calibration, and signal processing.
Patent
Combination head-protective helmet and thermal imaging apparatus
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination head-protective helmet which includes a cap and an outwardly extending brim and thermal imaging apparatus including an infrared camera for producing an infrared image of a scene or object and a display system which generates a visible image of the scene or objects from the infrared image is mounted underneath the brim of the protective helmet for protection against e.g. falling objects and the display system is mounted on the helmet in a position to permit a person wearing the combination to see the visible image.
