Research abstract

The Quantum360 optical sensor is a device that gives to any platform the capability to see all around in 360 degrees in real time and geotag (extract the geographic coordinates) from any object seen within the 360 field of view. When attached to an airborne platform manned or unmanned, allows the platform to become a 360 live video ISR asset with 360 targeting capabilities. Objects can be geotagged, tracked, or used as “optical waypoints” to navigate the vehicle through 360 vision.  The extracted coordinates can be relayed in real time to other platforms through conventional (i.e. 4G/5G/LTE) or tactical data links.  The user can “teleport” from sensor-to-sensor through immersive “hotspots”. Hotspots are visual cues within the 360-video showing the physical location of other Quantum360 sensors. The Quantum360 sensor is a hybrid of Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality and Artificial intelligence all working together in the background to expand the senses of the user in 360 degrees and provide targeting and visual cueing capabilities in 360 degrees. With the addition of 360 Artificial Intelligence framework, the Quantum360 sensor becomes an omnidirectional object detection, classification and 360 optical tracking device that can identify objects in any direction extracting simultaneously their precise geographic coordinates.
