Car safety is now one of the major aspects in car building that auto manufacturers are giving much thought to. A lot of safety systems brought by advances in technology has already been developed and are now used on cars being mass produced. One safety system that has received much attention is the night vision systems for vehicles. But, unfortunately, such was wavered.

After a dismal introduction of the system in the early part of this decade, the interest in the safety system has come back and it promises to stay this time. A study of ABI Research as a matter of fact shows that night vision systems for cars can enter mainstream application in the near future.

The research tells us that if the night vision system is combined with other camera-based safety systems, the result will be a better night vision system. It can be remembered that both GM and Toyota has launched their cars at the turn of the century coming equipped with night vision systems. Unfortunately, the interest of the public on such a safety system wavered. This is because of the fact that those previous outing in the development of a night vision system for the car focuses only in providing an improved image of the road to the driver. The driver then has to interpret the given information which makes the technology not so convenient during those times.

But at present where much improvement was made in the field of obstacle detection via machine vision, it would be quite possible to make a better night vision system for existing cars. Obstacle detection system like Volvo's City Safety and Blindspot Information System can be integrated to a night vision system to provide drivers not only a better vision of the road ahead but also definite information about obstacles that may be detected. Instead of the driver analyzing the given data, an onboard computer will just tell the driver what potential problems he may face and give him appropriate warning. The only thing that holds back the mainstream application of the two systems integrated as one is the cost of production.

David Alexander, a senior analyst for ABI Research stated that "Honda's system that is available today, but only in Japan, is the first generation of an 'intelligent' night vision function".

"But the cost is much too high for large volume sales. Use of the underlying object detection and identification technology from other camera-based applications could lead to a new category of night vision capability that is both low-cost and easy for drivers to use," Alexander added further.

The combination of a camera-based safety system and night vision technology would increase the safety of the driver during nighttime driving. The safety system would alert the driver of an oncoming obstacle thus protecting him from accidents at night, just like a Volvo fuel filter does when it protects the engine by screening the fuel going in and out of the engine's lubrication system.

Continued development of the technology will lead to a more functional system that would surely capture once again the interest of the motoring public. With studies conducted by car makers and their partners in the night vision field will no doubt churn out a night vision system that would surpass the capabilities of the previously employed night vision safety systems. While the development of the said system relies on the shoulders of the car manufacturers, the success of the said technology will depend on how well the public will accept it. And public acceptance will be gauged once the first wave of buyers assesses the soon to be available technology.

History of Night Vision Goggles (nvg)

Around the 1950’s scientists and engineers from the US Army discovered the first viable method for showing the faintest of light, know as electromagnetic radiation, that was not within the visible spectrum for the human eye. With this discovery began the journey to our modern day near daylight night vision devices. This enabled soldiers to fight as well during the night as they did in the daytime. “Own the Night” became the soliders new ability.

Darkness has always been an issue during the war, how do you fight an enemy you cannot see. Prior to the discovery of night vision technology, soldiers battled during the night with various primitive methods, including the use of fire, and more modern times, electric search lights.

But on the battlefield these methods were also a disadvantage , not only could they see the enemy but the enemy could see them, and what they were up to. Modern night vision googles make up for this by huge factors.

During the mid 60’s the clever people who first worked on night vision technology created what has become known as the first generation night vision device. This was a passive unit, and the first was know as a Starlight Scope, which could be used as a rifle scope. This was the first major practical use in the military of night vision units.

Over the years engineers and scientists continued on this technology to deliver the second, third, and now fourth generation night vision equipment, and they continue to come up with new ideas as research efforts pay off.

How can I make night vision goggles?

I would like to make night vision goggles or night vision binoculars. I have a pair of regular binoculars and a video camera. I would like to avoid making an infared device as I can't find any infared light bulbs that are strong enough. Could you please provide step-by-step instructions as I do not have too much technical know-how but I don't care about the camera or binoculars. I can also get other materials if needed.

Thank you.

Night vision is done with infra red waves.(Difference in temperature of different bodies)
Ordinary binoculars are not sensitive to Infrared waves.U can not change it
UI require infra red censers,convert signals to electrical, then form image.

Cell phones could double as night vision devices
Call it Nitelite: The newest app for cell phones might be night vision. An engineering researcher has crafted a nickel-sized imaging device that uses organic light-emitting diode technology similar to that found in cell phone or laptop screens for night vision. But unlike night vision goggles, which are heavy and expensive, the device is paper-thin, light and inexpensive, making it a possible ...
