Fremont, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- Leopard Imaging has introduced the LI-DragonFire-VGA-GM2B, an uncooled infrared camera module targeting thermal imaging and temperature measurement in industrial systems.
DragonFire delivers 640 x 512 thermal resolution with 40 mK sensitivity
The module uses a 12 x 12 μm pixel size and a Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) as low as 40 mK, enabling detailed capture of fine thermal information. It supports 30/60 Hz frame rates for real-time imaging of moving objects and operating equipment.
Camera measures temperatures from -20°C to 600°C across two modes
DragonFire offers a high-quality measurement range of -20°C to +160°C alongside a wide-range mode covering 50°C to +600°C, allowing the same module to monitor both precision heat differentials and extreme industrial temperatures.
Module weighs 58 grams and draws under 1 watt of power
Built for embedded integration, the compact unit weighs approximately 58 g and consumes less than 1 W, targeting systems where size, weight, and power constraints are critical. It incorporates an ADI MAX96717 GMSL2 serializer, providing a high-bandwidth GMSL2 interface with power-over-coax connectivity for system integration.
Leopard Imaging targets heat detection, inspection, and night vision use cases
The company positions DragonFire for heat signature detection, industrial inspection, and night vision applications, addressing environments where visible-light imaging fails to capture sufficient operational data.
