WEOM ONVIF Thermal Module for Seamless PTZ and Fixed Camera Integration
4. 6. 2025How the Workswell FOV Calculator Enhances Lens Configuration for the WEOM Thermal Core
Advanced thermal imaging requires not only high-quality sensors but also precise lens configuration. The WEOM® Thermal Core by Workswell is a high-performance thermal module built for demanding environments—from industrial inspections to security operations. To fully leverage its capabilities, selecting the right lens is crucial—and that’s where the Workswell FOV Calculator proves invaluable.
WEOM®: High Sensitivity with Fixed Lens Options
The WEOM Thermal Core incorporates advanced FPGA-based image processing, offering outstanding thermal detail with a sensor resolution of 640 × 480 px and sensitivity below 30 mK. Equipped with a range of predefined fixed lenses, the WEOM is ideal for applications such as:
- UAV and UGV integration,
- Surveillance and rescue missions,
- Maritime and portable monitoring,
- Industrial and smart systems.
Each configuration delivers a specific Field of View (FOV) optimized for the intended application—whether wide-area coverage or detailed close-up inspection.
From Theory to Practice with the FOV Calculator
The Workswell FOV Calculator allows engineers to perform accurate simulations using real camera and lens specifications. By entering parameters such as sensor resolution, focal length, and observation distance, users can obtain:
- Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal FOV in real-world units,
- Spot size at a given distance,
- IFOV (Instantaneous Field of View) in milliradians.
This tool helps ensure the correct lens is selected for the WEOM, eliminating guesswork and improving design efficiency.
Real-World Benefits: Smarter System Integration
Integrating the FOV Calculator into the WEOM configuration process delivers several key advantages:
- Predictable system performance before deployment,
- Accelerated development cycles with fewer integration errors,
- Improved operational reliability by aligning lens choice with mission requirements.
Combined with the WEOM’s rugged build, IP67 protection rating, and extensive interface options (HDMI, USB3, GigE), the result is a precisely engineered thermal imaging solution tailored for the most challenging environments.
