Field notes
The described system compares two synchronized thermal views across a fixed baseline and processes them into a depth map. Ophidex also claims super-resolution from combining the two cores. The company identifies Fishers, Indiana as its headquarters and says it is discussing pilots and integrations, while noting that the prototype remains in development.
