Summit to Explore Key Sensor Technologies

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 26, 2006 -- Image Fusion 2007 will examine how the military and industry are evolving their operations and systems and will also bring attendees up-to-date on key sensor technologies such as image intensification, thermal imaging, millimeter wave radar, night vision devices and more. It will examine issues surrounding the defense industrial strategy needed to ensure that the US can stay ahead of changing threats. The summit is being held Jan. 22-24 at Hilton Alexandria Old Town.  Hosting the summit is the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement (IDGA), a non-partisan information-based...Read full article

    fusion
    1. The combination of the effects of two or more stimuli in any given sense to form a single sensation. With respect to vision, the perception of continuous illumination formed by the rapid successive presentation of light flashes at a specified rate. 2. The transition of matter from solid to liquid form. 3. With respect to atomic or nuclear fusion, the combination of atomic nuclei, under extreme heat, to form a heavier nucleus.
    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
    infrared
    Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
    sensor
    1. A generic term for detector. 2. A complete optical/mechanical/electronic system that contains some form of radiation detector.
