The ITAR‑free Lepton® XDS combines a factory‑aligned radiometric 160 × 120 Lepton 3.5 thermal camera with a 5 MP visible camera in an easy‑to‑integrate module featuring onboard Prism™ ISP image‑signal‑processing software. Its size, weigh, and power (SWaP)‑optimized design streamlines OEM integration for mobile devices, compact electronics, smart buildings, fire detection, occupancy analytics, and equipment‑condition‑monitoring applications.

Prism ISP includes Teledyne FLIR’s patented MSX® technology, which overlays visible‑edge detail onto thermal imagery for enhanced real‑time clarity. Thermographic tools include regions of interest (ROI), spot meters, isotherms, adjustable color palettes, and additional measurement overlays. VividIR™, Teledyne FLIR OEM’s patented image‑processing technique, delivers superior thermal sharpness and detail typically associated with more expensive QVGA sensors.

For the first time, Lepton XDS also supports saving images in advanced radiometric JPEG (RJPG) format, ensuring seamless compatibility with the broader software ecosystem, including FLIR Thermal Studio for post‑processing and report generation.
