DESCRIPTION

With the revolutionary SuperResolution technology from Testo, you improve the image quality of your testo thermal imager by one class in no time. Four times more measurement values and a geometric resolution improved by a factor of 1.6 mean for you even more details, even more security in your measurement and better analysis as well. For example 160 x 120 pixels are turned into 320 x 240 pixels at once with a simple firmware upgrade in your testo imager. This means simply better thermography on systems with - Testo SuperResolution upgrade. This innovation from Testo uses the natural movement of your hand, and records several images, slightly offset to each other, very quickly one after the other. These are then calculated into one image using an algorithm. This allows you to take thermographic measurements easily, quickly and reliably at a great distance, for example using the large rotatable display and optional telephoto lens of the testo 876 – and to analyze the even more detailed SuperResolution thermal images precisely and conveniently on a PC. The Testo SuperResolution technology makes it possible to depict more real temperature measurements without using a large detector, and thus to correctly measure smaller measuring objects. It provides four times more readings – comparable with a higher detector resolution. Testo SuperResolution Technology in a nutshell: • Improves the image quality of your Testo thermal imagers by one class with a mere firmware upgrade • More correct & real temperature measurements without using a large detector • Four times as many readings in the thermal image - Geometric resolution (IFOVgeo) of the thermal image improved by a factor of 1.6 • Measurable objects are 1.6 times smaller (IFOVmeas) • Far more details for PC-based analyses and thus qualitatively and quantitatively improved evaluation options in the thermography report

Four times as many readings – easily accessible in

The analysis software on your PCy y

With Super Resolution –

Real measured values are captured

This is not an interpolation process

Super Resolution : Super Sampling & DeconvolutionDeconvolution

Super samoling provides multiple pictures, slightly shifted

Deconvolution can reduce the blur, images are sharper & more detailed

Required –

Some arbitrary motion provided by user

A smart algorithm provided by testo

Advantages

Advantages of Super Resolution:

•Improves the image quality of your thermal imager by one class

•More correct temperature information on small objects

•Improves the geometric resolution (IFOV) of the thermal imager by factor 1,6 which helps to detect temperature variation in smaller objectsp j

•Provides more details for the analysis

•Better image quality for your report
