Hemispherical Array Detector for Imaging (HARDI)
Abstract
The objective of the Hemispherical Array Detector for Imaging (HARDI) program is to exploit the benefits of the hemispherical imaging surface. The basic idea behind the program is that a detector array can be fabricated on a hemispherical substrate using materials such as organic/inorganic semiconductors and that this array can be combined with a single lens to produce a wide field of view, small form factor camera. Organic materials have been shown to have good electronic and optoelectronic properties including light emission and detection. Furthermore, in-plane organic/inorganic transistors can be incorporated for pre-processing of images. This program will transition to DoD systems through a demonstration of an array prototype developed by industrial contractors.
