Market Definition
A night vision device is an electro-optic instrument designed to enhance a person’s ability to see in low-light or nighttime conditions, where natural light is insufficient for human vision. These devices work by capturing and amplifying available light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as infrared or thermal radiation, to make objects and scenes visible in the dark. They utilize various technologies, including image intensification, thermal imaging, and digital and infrared illumination, to capture and amplify existing ambient light or thermal radiation, making objects visible in the dark. Common examples of night vision devices include night vision goggles, monoculars, binoculars, scopes, and cameras. They are used in various fields, such as night driving or flying, night security & surveillance, law enforcement, military, navigation, entertainment, hidden-object detection, wildlife observation, and search & rescue.
