Automated vehicle Identification at a Distance

The HyperSensor camera used in this program is a new imaging technology for hyperspectral imaging recently developed at Surface Optics Corporation. The camera system is a compact solid-state staring hyperspectral imager that captures the information required to generate complete spectral/spatial data cubes with each focal plane exposure. The program proposed here will develop an optimized design for adapting the Hypersensor camera technology to the Visible/Near IR waveband for purposes of producing a video rate camera to detect and track target vehicles. The system includes an integrated real-time processor for analyzing and displaying results in real time.
