A Multiband Imaging Network Lab
Abstract
This proposal requests equipment for a Multiband Imaging Network (MIN) Lab, a state-of-the-art facility for experimentation in multi-band, networked camera systems. Multiple imaging bands and technologies are used in DoD systems: radar, lidar, infrared, visible. Each band has its own characteristics, advantages,and disadvantages. Understanding the characteristics of these bands and which band is best for a given application is an area of ongoing research of interest to the Department of Defense. The proposed equipment will provide a single facility with imaging capabilities in a wide range of bands and imagingmethods. The Department of Defense makes use of many different imaging technologies. DoD has an interest in understanding the capabilities of each imaging technique and the characteristics that determine which imaging method is best for any given situation (environment, mission, etc.). A single facility withmultiple imaging systems will be able to conduct experiments using several different imaging systems on a single scene, allowing direct comparison of imaging performance. This equipment will enable current (DARPA ReImagine), proposed (DARPA ERI), and future DoD research.
