Overview of the New Product

FLIR Systems has recently announced the launch of its new product - the FLIR Firefly® DL, a machine vision camera equipped with deep learning capabilities. This device is designed for use by equipment manufacturers, engineers and makers.

The FLIR Firefly DL leverages the company’s innovative technology called FLIR Neuro to enable users to directly deploy trained neural networks onto the camera hardware itself. This allows for edge computing and intelligent decision-making without requiring external processing systems.

Key Features

  • Small size with minimal power consumption
  • Deep learning inference capabilities through FLIR Neuro technology
  • Supports popular deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, Caffe)
  • Enables on-camera classification and object detection/localization

Applications

The Firefly DL is ideal for embedding into various systems including mobile devices, desktop computers, and handheld equipment. It can address complex automation tasks such as:

  1. Facial recognition
  2. Quality assessment of solar panels
  3. Object classification in industrial settings

By offloading neural network processing directly to the camera hardware, this device simplifies system design while maintaining high performance.

Availability

The FLIR Firefly DL is now available for purchase through authorized FLIR distributors worldwide at a price point of $299 USD. Visit FLIR.com/Firefly-DL to learn more and access resources for developing your first deep learning classification system.
