         No.             Parameter Name                                                 Description
                                                 Optical Parameters
          1Focal Length (Effective Focal Length & EFL)The distance from the optical center of the lens to the imaging plane (e.g., sensor). It describes the optical system’s ability to gather light and is commonly used to calculate the magnification factor.
          2Front Focal Length (FFL)The distance from the foremost optical surface of the lens (e.g., the front surface of the first lens element) to the front focal point.
          3Back Focal Length (BFL)The distance from the rearmost optical surface of the lens (e.g., the physical end of the last lens element) to the back focal point.
          4F-Number (F/#)The ratio of the lens focal length to the diameter of the aperture. The smaller the F-number, the larger the aperture, the greater the ability to gather light.
          5Working Distance (WD)The distance between the optical system (e.g., lens or sensor) and the observed or measured object (object distance).
          6Back Working Distance (BWD)

The distance from the plane of the rearmost end of the mechanical part to the focal plane.

          7Spectral RangeThe range of wavelengths of light that can be effectively transmitted or processed by the lens.
          8Field of View (FOV)The observable angles of an optical instrument, typically divided into horizontal field of view and vertical field of view.
          9Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)A key metric for evaluating the imaging quality of the lens, measuring the system’s ability to transfer contrast at different spatial frequencies (resolution).
         10DistortionImage distortion occurs due to lens manufacturing precision and assembly tolerances, leading to image deformation. Lens distortion includes radial distortion and tangential distortion.
         11Optical Axis AlignmentThe alignment of the optical axis of an optical system, which refers to the coincidence of the optical centers of all optical surfaces with the reference axis (e.g., the centerline of the lens barrel).
         12ParfocalityThe focus distance (starting from the imaging plane) depends only on the position of the focusing group and remains unaffected by zooming.
                                          Mechanical Parameters
          1Pixel SizeThe physical size of an individual pixel on a digital sensor, typically measured in micrometers(μm). It determines the resolution and sensitivity of the sensor.
          2Lens SizeThe overall physical dimensions of the lens, typically including length, width, and height.
          3Maximum Diameter (Lens + Flange)The largest external diameter of the lens, including the lens itself and the flange (mounting) components. It influences the lens's ability to gather light and the overall size of the optical system.
          4Lens WeightThe total weight of the lens assembly, including the lens elements, housing, and other mechanical components.
          5Total Lens LengthThe overall mechanical length of the lens, measured from the end of the lens barrel to the image plane.
                                          Interface & Data Output
          1Video Output InterfaceThe connection type or port used to transmit the optical system’s video signal to an external display or processing unit.
          2Communication InterfaceThe connection type or protocol used for communication between the optical system and other devices.
          3Frame RateThe frequency (rate) at which successive bitmap images appear on a display, measured in frames per second (fps).
                                          Performance Algorithms
          1Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD)The value of the signal-to-noise ratio for the temperature difference.
          2Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD)The smallest temperature difference that can be resolved at a given spatial frequency.
          3Non-uniformity Correction (NUC)A key technology in infrared imaging systems used to correct non-uniform pixel response in the infrared focal plane array (FPA), eliminating brightness or temperature distribution inconsistencies in the image.
          4Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)A widely used technology in digital signal processing that aims to remove noise from signals while preserving useful information.
          5Target Detection & TrackingAlgorithms used to detect and track specific objects or targets within an image or video stream.
          6Pseudo-colorIt is derived from a grayscale image by mapping each intensity value to a color according to a table or function.
          7Image FusionThe process of combining information from multiple images into a single enhanced image that retains critical information and features from the original inputs. Image fusion technology improves image quality and information content.
          8Temperature MeasurementA non-contact method for measuring the surface temperature of an object by detecting its infrared radiation.
          9AI Face DetectionThe automatic identification and recognition of human faces in images using computational analysis.
         10General Behavior AnalysisA systematic approach to studying, quantifying, and interpreting behavioral patterns of individuals or groups, widely applied in business, psychology, artificial intelligence, security, and healthcare. The core objective is to extract behavioral rules from large datasets, predict future trends, and optimize decision-making.
                                    Environmental Requirements
          1Operating TemperatureThe temperature range within which the optical system or equipment can function effectively.
          2Storage TemperatureThe temperature range within which the optical system or components should be stored when not in use.
          3Vibration ResistanceThe system’s ability to withstand vibrations, including structural integrity and fatigue characteristics.
          4Shock ResistanceThe system’s ability to withstand impacts, considering material brittleness and toughness.
          5Humidity & Corrosion Resistance (Acid/Alkali Environments)The system’s tolerance to environmental humidity and acidic/alkaline conditions.
