Thermal imager, also called an Uncooled Focal Plane Array (UFPA): a thermal system that converts infrared (IR)radiation into a visible image.The main components of a thermal imager are:

Thermal Imaging and Sensing 2021 | Sample | www.yole.fr | ©2021

THERMAL IMAGER AND DETECTOR DEFINITIONS

Camera Camera core with electronics and

sometimes IR lenses

Imager - sensorUncooled focal plane array - UFPA

Pixel Each sensor is an array of

thousands of pixels

Thermal Detector: a photodetector that detects thermal radiation and converts it into a signal. By usingseveral single detection elements called pixels, it forms an array. Detectors provide only a detection signal, notan image.The main parts of a thermal detector system are:

System

e.g. IR motion detector Detector, packagedModule

e.g. IR motion detector

Detection chip with pixels

from 1 to 80 x 80 arrays

We consider as the pixel limit for detectors and imagers around 80 x 80. The reason is that

above this resolution it is impossible to do some scene (face, etc.) recognition with detector.

o Digital thermal detectors are gaining interest

o EBT/EST trend is cooling off in 2021, aspredicted, while other applications come back

o Thermal imaging for ADAS continues to develop,but volumes remain to be seen

o Integrated thermal sensor in a high-volumesmartphone like Honor Play 4 Pro did not proveits interest from the average consumer (notconsidering CAT/Blackview phones which areprofessional)

o Thermal detectors revenues in 2020 wereunderestimated, due to an underestimation ofASP increases and also due to the spike inrevenue growth from some manufacturers(Orisystech, Heimann, Senba Optoelectronics)

o GuideIR shipments were overestimated and forLynred underestimated for the year 2020.

o Revenue outlook for 2021 is higher thananticipated.

o Plug-in for smartphones are not decreasing aspredicted. Online sales channels like Amazon,help with sales, and the revenues remain flat forthis type of products.

THERMAL IMAGERS MARKET TRENDS

An overview of thermal imagers

Covid-19 crisis educated the market to thermal imaging. Manufacturers push toward a multitude of applications.

• In 2020, Covid-19 crisis rose a massive demandfor thermal imagers for EBT/EST.

• In 2021 interest for such application decreases.But this “blip” educated the market which isnow more familiar with thermal imaging.

• This trend from the customer side isaccentuated by thermal imager manufacturerswhich make efforts trying to find new usecases for thermal imaging.

• As a result, the overall market is doing well andalmost all segments are growing.

THERMAL IMAGERS MARKET TRENDS

Automotive thermal imaging: new projects and partnerships

Thermal imaging can be used in different manner in automotive.

• FLIR partners with Foresight to developthermal cameras in automotive. One resultfrom this partnership is the bispectrumvideo system integrating two visible imagesensors with two thermal imagers forADAS 3D stereo thermal imaging

• Veoneer has won a contract with Cadillacto provide thermal cameras for nightvision and pedestrian detection.

• Adasky started a production contract withAmerican car OEM. We believe it could beGeneral Motors because they already usethermal technologies in their Super Cruisesystems. The Viper system will be integratedfrom 2023 and should prevent from forwardcollision.

THERMAL IMAGER MANUFACTURERS MAP

Microbolometer technologies:

a-Si, VOx, Other technologies

The thermal camera supply chain is more complicated and is scattered worldwide: imagers (FPA/ROIC),

retinae, lenses, packaging, and system assembly may all be produced in different locations.

Here, only imager manufacturers are shown, some of which might be more vertically integrated (FLIR,

Seek, Hikvision, GuideIR).

Main players in

defense market (FLIR,

BAE, DRS) and very

strong in commercial

market (FLIR, SEEK)

Chinese manufacturers are

pushing strong and become

highly competitive

• 1 EU leader (Lynred)

• Israel strong in defense

applications

Korea is developing

in commercial and

military applications
