The Lepton microcamera core – the same technology that brought thermal imaging to smartphone users with last year's Flir One – is reported similar in size, weight and power consumption to a CMOS smartphone camera module. The design also allows for high volume manufacture, lowering production costs and enabling thermal imaging technology to be delivered into the hands of consumers.
