🔍 What is “Shutterless” — and why it matters

Conventional thermal cameras use a mechanical shutter to perform periodic Non-Uniformity Correction (NUC). That works — but introduces image interruptions and mechanical wear.

Rapixel’s shutterless approach uses continuous, AI-grade correction algorithms to maintain uniformity without any moving parts. The practical benefits:

⚙️ Engineered for integration and performance

Built for embedded vision developers, UAV integrators, and security designers — iVaster-SL packs high-performance LWIR imaging into a small, rugged core with flexible interfaces.

*Detection range depends on lens, detector resolution, atmospheric conditions, and target thermal contrast.

🛰️ Built for the toughest missions

iVaster-SL cores are validated under severe mechanical stress: tested to 80 g shock and 6.06 g vibration. Designed to maintain <0.1% failure rates in high-vibration, long-term deployments — ideal for UAVs, autonomous vehicles, and defense platforms.

Low power consumption + featherweight construction makes them perfect for continuous airborne or mobile operation.
