INTRODUCTION
Night vision technology, literally allows one to see inthe dark.
It is originally developed for military use .
Humans have poor night vision compared to manyother animals.
With the proper night-vision equipment, we can see aperson standing over 200 yards (183 m) away on amoonless, cloudy night.

WORKING OF TECHNICAL NIGHT VISION
Technical Night Vision
Image intensifier
Thermal imaging
Image Intensifier
Night vision amplifies light to achieve better vision .
A conventional lens, captures ambient light.
The gathered light is sent to the image-intensifier tube.
The light energy released electron from the cathode and accelerated.

These electrons enter micro channel plate and bounce off and generate
more electron.
Thousands of other electrons to be released in each channel.
Original electrons collide with the channel,exciting atoms and causing
other electrons.
New electrons collide with other atoms, creating a chain.
In image-intensifier tube, the electrons hit a screen.
The energy of the electrons release photons and create green image on the
screen.
The green phosphor image is viewed through another lens.

Thermal Imaging
All objects emit infrared energy as a function of their temperature.
A lens focuses the infrared light.
The focused light is scanned and create temperature pattern.
The pattern created is translated into electric impulses.

The impulses are sent to a circuit board that translates the information into
data for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the is play, and
appears as various colors.
Thermal images are black and white in nature.

Contd…
This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of
view of the detector array.
The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric
impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a
dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data
for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it
appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared
emission.

The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.
Day time night time
by using thermal image

NIGHT VISION DEVICES
Night vision devices are basically divided into three categories
SCOPES
They are monocular normally
handheld or mounted on a weapon.
GOGGLES
They are binocular and
worn on the head.
CAMERAS
Used for transmission or recording
of images mostly if the location is fixed.

APPLICATIONS
Wildlife observation
Security
Hidden-object detection
Military
Hunting

ADVANTAGES
The biggest advantage is it Just having the ability to see in the dark.
The main advantages of image intensifiers as night vision devices are
their small size, light weight, low power requirements and low cost.

CONCLUSION
Today in the 21st century we have come a long way in the
development of night vision technology, from the early 1940’s.
Night vision devices are basically designed for utmost defensive
purposes but the application within the scientific or the civilian range
is often prohibited by law.
In present scenario the applications of night vision technology is very
essential to combat terrorism which is a major problem being faced
by mankind.
