Professional software for IR applications

Only the software makes the infrared camera an instrument for exact, quantitative measurements and is thus an important component of an IR camera system. The IRCAM software is designed for the flexible use in research & development and for applications in the field of industrial non-destructive testing.

IRCAM software serves for control of the IR camera, image acquisition and processing of the infrared image data. The software runs under Microsoft Windows XP.

Besides the base software IRCAM Works software extensions for special applications and develop software solutions for complex customer-specific applications are offered like Genius for IRCAM Works.

Customers who develop their own software can set all camera parameters with the help of the IRCAM software library (IRCAM_API). The library also supports the image acquisition and basic processing functions.


“IRCAM Works pro“is a comfortable solution for controlling IR cameras, acquisition of IR images and management and processing of IR image data. IRCAM Works runs under Microsoft Windows and has a modern, intuitive user interface.

Features and functions:

“Genius for IRCAM Works “ is a software extension for the base software IRCAM Works. Its additional functionality is optimized for the requirements of complex measurement applications. Genius is a powerful tool for professional and comfortable display, management and evaluation of image data.

Genius also runs as a stand-alone application for analysis of saved measurement data. Thus, it may be used on a separate analysis computer.

Features and functions:

• Replay of images and sequences (corrected and uncorrected)
• Non-uniformity correction (offset and linear NUC)
• Different NUC for different filters
• Linear temperature scaling with 2 reference points
• Non-linear temperature scaling with multiple reference points
• Bad pixel replacement
• Software windowing (cropping of live images)
• Image zoom (50% to 800% and arbitrary)
• Image scaling tool (contrast / brightness)
• Histogram function for image scaling tool
• Selection between 10 different color palettes
• Color palette editor
• Multiple image view (1, 2, 3, 4)
• Image overlay for 2 images (different wavelengths)
• Display of text information in the image
• Display of col/row coordinates in the status bar
• Sequence manager for images and sequences
• Video recorder-like operation, cut function
• Recording, loading, saving of images
• Recording, loading, saving of sequences
• Export of images (.bmp, .png)
• Export of sequences (.avi)
• Export to clipboard (images, charts)
• ROI: regions of interest (unlimited number)
• LOI: lines of interest (free coordinates, unlimited number)
• POI: points of interest (unlimited number)
• Export of ROI, LOI, POI data (ASCII, emf)
