新华网3月25日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道,多亏一款名叫Therm-App的手机应用,安卓智能手机现在也能拥有红外夜视功能了。
今年早些时候,FLIR向外界公布了一款带有热感应功能智能手机外壳,能够通过这个镜头实时看到我们心情的变化。有点可惜的是,现阶段这款带有热感应视镜的手机壳只适用苹果iPhone手机,而且今年夏天才正式退出。安卓手机的粉丝们现在不必为此感到惋惜,因为安卓智能手机也有了属于自己的热成像附加功能—一款名叫Therm-App的应用程序。
Therm—App在安卓4.1及以上版本的手机上使用,带有一个USB接口在主机模式下工作,它能“钳住”不同手机的后盖,用一小段缆绳“绑定”手机。再加上一个伴随的应用程序,你就能获得实时的红外成像图了—找到电器组件中的发热垫,或是在黑夜中用夜视功能看到人或动物。
Therm-App与FLIR热成像手机壳最大的区别在于,该应用还可添加额外的镜头,能让你在智能手机的屏幕上随意改变可视的范围。用三脚架支起或加上一个底座,你就可以用手机在夜里进行监视或记录拍摄啦。
Therm-App的出现好像恰逢其时,但是目前此应用仅限于Opgal的用户购买。也就是说,只有专业的军队、安保以及执法人员才有权订购这种夜视红外镜头应用。那其余的人怎么办呢?我们只能将自己的名字以及电子邮件地址留下来,希望有机会参与体验。不过,小编还是希望,当FLIR的热感应成像手机壳正式问世的时候,这款应用也能惠及每个人。

Earlier in the year, FLIR got us all hot and bothered by revealing a thermal vision smartphone case that could actually see our excitement. Unfortunately it"s only for iPhone users, and won"t be available until the early summer. But Android fans will have the last laugh with their own thermal imaging add-on—the Therm-App—that"s already available.
Working with Android 4.1+ handsets with a USB port that works in host mode, the Therm-app clamps onto the back of various sized handsets and connects via a small cable. Using an accompanying app it can provide everything from real-time thermal vision for finding an electrical component that"s running hot, or for spotting people or animals in the dark of night.
What further sets the Therm-App apart from FLIR"s thermal vision case is that it will eventually support additional lenses, allowing you to customize the field of view visible on your smartphone"s display. And of course the whole thing can be mounted to a tripod or base for long stakeouts or timelapse recordings. 。
The Therm-App does appear to be actually available right now, but for the time being only existing Opgal customers are able to buy it. Which basically means only professional military, security, and law enforcement types will be able to order one. The rest of us can only leave our name and email address and wait to join in on the fun, but hopefully it will be available to everyone by the time FLIR"s offering is officially released.
