High Sensitivity Mode (HSM) is a technological innovation developed by FLIR Systems to enhance the leak detection performance of its GF-Series optical gas imaging cameras.
The company's proprietary High Sensitivity Mode is based on an image subtraction video processing technique that effectively enhances the thermal sensitivity of the camera.
HSM subtracts a percentage of individual pixel signals from frames in the video stream from the subsequent frames, thus enhancing the differences between frames, which make leaks stand out more clearly in the resulting images.
Using the high sensitivity mode, even the smallest of gas leaks can be spotted through a FLIR GF Series optical gas imaging (OGI) camera.
FLIR GF Series OGI cameras offer quick, non-contact measurement of gas leaks in real time.
They present visual information, making the leak detection process more intuitive.
Optical gas imaging cameras can also be used in hard-to-access locations, as they can detect small leaks from a distance.
Unlike restricted point measurement provided by 'gas sniffers' a GF Series OGI camera allows users to detect gas leakage anywhere within the field of view of the camera.
