One of this weekโs cool projects was calibrating the night vision camera on a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee.๐
Unlike a regular camera, this system uses thermal imaging to detect heat, helping drivers spot pedestrians and large animals farther down the road than the headlights can illuminate.
To calibrate it, we use a heated target plate that creates a thermal image the camera can recognize. You can actually see that heated target in the second photo!
The coolest part? While watching the live image during calibration, we could clearly see people working inside the paint booth even through the paper covering the booth windows. The thermal camera isnโt looking for visible light like our eyes or a normal camera; itโs detecting heat, which makes for a pretty amazing view of whatโs happening around the vehicle.
