Photogrammetric Camera For Rapid Prototyping

This proposal describes an Electromagnetically-Accurate Photogrammetric Camera for assimilation of structural object data from a variety of sources. The system consists of a multi-spectral data capture unit, novel artificial intelligence (AI) andsensor/data fusion processes for object geometry and materials characterization, and a standard interface for 3-D model file downloads. The sensors addressed include acoustic, seismic, radar, ladar, video, and electro-optical. This sensor technology isbased on low-cost designs which are in use in today's markets for short range application. Primary anticipated benefits include: 1) minimization of development cycle and product improvement risks for commercial and defense surveillance systems. Alternatebenefits include 1) Rapid Model Prototyping, 2) personnel monitoring, 3) site surveillance, 4) Target Identification, 5) Non-LOS detection, and 6) Remote sensing.
