1. ABSTRACT
Seeing in the dark was once the province of owls and other night creatures, but with
improved technology, even human beings are masters of the night. Usually, the only light
available at night is that provided by the moon and stars – which is not sufficient for identifying
the things in many applications like in military where it is very much necessary to distinguish
friend from foe. For the purpose of identifying the objects in the dark night a new technology is
introduced known as Night Vision Technology. Night vision is the ability to see in a dark
environment either by biological or technological means. Our paper describes the working,
generations, technologies used and applications of night vision technology.
With the proper night-vision equipment, you can see a person standing over 200
yards(183 m) away on a moonless, cloudy night.The applications of night vision are
Militaryapplications,Hunting Security , Hidden-object detection Navigation.This paper explains
the how to work the night vision and also explains the characeristics and applications of night
vision.
