3D Sensor Systems
Photon-X 3D sensors provide valuable object information about the scenery items within its field of view. By detecting key characteristics about imaged items, automatic target recognition algorithms can be improved, man-made items are more easily discerned from background clutter and moving target information can be computed such as heading, speed and orientation. This detailed information can be used to determine area, volume, or height of target features. Our patented, unique approach to characterizing surface elements is angle-invariant and easily scaled to suit a variety of applications. This allows target information to be collected at a variety of distances and angles. By simply changing its field of view, our technology has been successfully demonstrated in systems whose imaged targets range in size from microscopic crystals, to faces, military vehicles, aircraft, even terrain features measuring hundreds of meters in width at several kilometers from the sensor unit itself.
Features

- Fast capture of image and processing of 3D data.
- Passive system utilizes available lighting, eliminating need for special illumination or laser scanners.
- Network-enabled allowing remote placement of multiple sensor systems.
- Standardized data formats allow utilization of 3D information in existing applications.
- High-resolution sensor generates detailed object data for scene being imaged.
- Software utilities can produce accurate object information such as size, speed, heading and orientation.
Applications

The robust Photon-X 3D sensing algorithm characterizes normal vectors for
each image pixel providing accurate surface data to improve
target recognition systems.
Sensor angle-invariance: By identifying and enrolling key features such as flat panels of a target, the Photon-X sensor system can maintain target identity of a vehicle during a change in orientation or position.
