Alzoc Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Topic to post photo and video of various AFV seen through a thermal camera. I know that we won't be able to make any comparisons on the thermal signature of various tank without knowing which camera took the image and that the same areas (tracks, engine, sometimes exhaust) will always be the ones to show up but anyway: Just to see them under a different light than usual (pardon the terrible pun^^) Leclerc during a deployment test of the GALIX smoke dispenser: The picture on the bottom right was made using the castor sight (AMX 10 RC, AMX 30 B2) Akatsiya : T-72: A T-62 I think between 2 APC: Stryker: Jackal: HMMWV: Cougar 4x4: LAV: LoooSeR, Serge and That_Baka 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 The MRAP is a Cougar 4x4. Pretty sure these are all reposts but since this thread is specifically for thermal pictures. various Abrams Abrams and Leopard 2 M7A3 Bradley Merkava 4M T-62 Either a T-72 or a T-90 I thought I had one of a Leclerc, but I guess not.

Walter_Sobchak Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 If we learned anything from the movie Predator, all you need to do is roll around in some mud and your thermal signature is nill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzoc Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well I knew that the Barracuda net and various thermal coating were effective but not that effective. Quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juretrn Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 That makes me wonder - how bad for the environment are these smoke charges in Alzoc's post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzoc Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I don't really know actually. Sorry, there are many ways to create smoke and all I could say is that the chosen reaction probably runs hot and emits in multiples wavelengths to cover a vehicle from IR camera. If it's the same or close than ship distress signals looking at the security sheet it only marked as explosive and dangerous when ingested. I would be tempted to say "not much" but I'm not too confident about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a really sophisticated program then. And at least on the Bumerang it got it spot on, showing significant heat on the right side at the very front, where the engine is located. Photos showed the paint gone off there because of the severe heating issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have massive doubts about neural network being capable to do anything like this. The most sophisticated use of neural network in real time image editing that I know is noise cleaning that Nvidia showecased with their raytraycing tech. And this AI was changing color of pixels that were not raytraced, not imitating thermal signatures out of nothing. In the video there are moments when things are reflected in vehicles windows. A program would have hard time to assign thermal signatures to those reflections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
