Seek Thermal was founded in 2012 by two PhD scientists, Bill Parrish and Tim Fitzgibbons, with 40 years’ combined experience advancing military and professional-grade thermal imaging technology.
Now Seek has a new readout integrated circuit (ROIC) and sensor specifically designed for the automotive industry. The sensor features integrated functional safety capabilities and high sensitivity, and is engineered to meet stringent automotive standards such as AEC-Q100 L2 and ISO 26262. This sensor is well suited to avoiding pedestrian collisions. Additionally, Seek has created automotive development cameras for testing and evaluation.
Pedestrian deaths account for a high proportion of roadway fatalities, particularly during the night. Seek’s sensors detect the body heat of pedestrians in complete darkness and at extended distances, giving AEB systems what they need to prevent collisions at night or in other poorly-lit conditions.
DVN comment
Seek Thermal is a fabless designer and manufacturer of microbolometer detectors, and one of the few companies worldwide capable of creating thermal sensors. They have shipped hundreds of thousands of thermal imaging products globally, providing affordable and reliable thermal solutions to professionals and consumers at scale.
