They better nuke the pigs.

Hi, What is IR camera do you use? or is it a transformation of a black and white?

@Yves in the article they say it is a Flir Tau 340, I think that with a bit of tweaking they could get much better quality from the camera. The problem is that it has a fixed focus and the "thermal gains" (level and span) could be adjusted.

@Yves by the second youtube video title I would guess they are using a FLIR Tau320:

The daylight aerial damage survey flights alone make the project a success (gives shooters a good idea where piggy traffic comes from, and where to set up).  The addition of the FLIR & night flying is the icing on the cake!

 

Thanks for linking to this, Hooks!

Has anyone knowledge about the price of a FLIR Tau320 ?

About US$ 4500.

Mhh.. I think I have not such a large number of pigs that this would become cost-effective :)
