Ball Aerospace’s patented Anti-Blooming Technology (ABT-21) allows cameras to "see through" typical bright light glare found with standard nighttime images.

When bright lights are introduced to a nighttime environment, blooming - the blinding glare surrounding a light source against a dark background - can obscure important details. Ball Aerospace’s ABT-21 technology virtually eliminates blooming by automatically adapting to accommodate varying light levels in real time.

Ball Aerospace’s ABT-21 is employed in products such as the Intensified High Definition TV Camera and the Miniature CCD Camera.
