Research abstract
The proposed effort is to develop a high-definition (HD) 3D imager that provides in real-time high-resolution point cloud data over a wide angle for monitoring human activity from a free-flying robot platform. The objective is to build a compact sensor package that meets the low size, weight and power (SWaP) requirements of the application. The 3D sensor will provide better than 1cm by 1cm by 1cm resolution over a 60-degree by 45-degree field of regard at a standoff distance of 10 meters or more. This 3D imaging capability is achieved using a unique electro-optic step and stare scanner that provides the largest angle-aperture product of any non-mechanical scanning technology.
