Description

ABSTRACT:The proposed system design provides a capability to collect target signatures faster, and at more aspect angles from a locus of points on a hemisphere centered on the target. State of the art communications channels are used to transmit radiometric infrared data to remote data recorders. Payload positioning may be done by manual or pre-programmed control with precision GPS and inertial sensors.BENEFIT:Success in Phase II will open up new applications for 3D sensing. Heavier payload capacity in conjunction with multiple Gig-E data transmission will enable the scientific and research community to utilize more powerful sensors in data collection, resulting in higher fidelity models and greater understanding of phenomenology. Success will also provide film makers with greater latitude and flexibility in videography.
