Research abstract

Photon-X proposes to apply the Company’s patented and proven Spatial Phase Imaging (SPI) technology to numerous Focus Areas and User needs outlined in SBIR AF192-001: Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need. Our multi-patented passive optical sensors are based on Spatial Phase Imaging physics and will be a Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technology that can integrated across multiple Focus Areas and User Needs. SPI sensors capture real-time full motion 3D surfaces with a single lens and without point clouds. SPI sensors are high-res, have numerous associated analytical algorithms, and work in cluttered environments. The system is proven to find, identify, and track objects both near and far. SPI technology has applications for IoT, autonomy, robotics, and AI. Photon-X’s SPI captures the world’s surfaces in real-time which allows for unique identifications, tracking, and targeting. The benefits of the Photon-X SPI system are numerous, as the system is: (1) 3D without point clouds (2) high-resolution, (3) accurate, (4) adaptable, (5) proven, (6) low energy, and (7) real-time. Spatial Phase Imaging system provides undetectable asymmetric maintenance, human systems, defensive, and offensive capabilities. The proposed Photon-X system has nearly unlimited commercial applications including autonomous vehicles.
