Abstract: Aspects are generally directed to multi-sensor boresight alignment methods and systems for a multi-spectral reimaging optical system. In one example, a multi-sensor boresight alignment system includes a system interface to receive a first image frame from a first sensor and a second image frame from a second sensor, the first image frame having a contrast within a first spectral band and including a first image of a plate having a pattern of apertures, and the second image frame having a contrast within a second spectral band and including a second image of the plate. The system includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) coupled to the system interface, the FPGA configured to spot track each image frame to identify a corresponding centroid of the pattern of apertures and correct an optical alignment between the first and second sensors based on a position of the corresponding centroids.

Abstract: A sensor data processing apparatus can be coupled to multiple image sensors of different types. The apparatus determines a geolocation of areas imaged in each frame or pixel based on sensor geolocation information and encodes the geolocation information in metadata space of the corresponding frame. The apparatus is configured to align edges and/or corners of the frame with edges or corners of adjacent frames based on the geolocation information to stitch together a mosaic or panoramic image without overlapping frames. The apparatus can be figured to stitch together image frame in real time without performing feature registration and without resampling frames.

Abstract: A sensor data processing apparatus can be coupled to multiple image sensors of different types. The apparatus adjusts frame transmission rates based on the number of sensors and type of image data sourced by the sensors to optimize utilization of bandwidth on a number of transport channels. The apparatus can be configured to transport selected frames in the image data that are identified as critical frames at a higher rate than non-selected frames in the image data.

Abstract: A sensor data processing apparatus can be coupled to multiple image sensors of different types. The apparatus encodes symbology metadata in metadata space of image frames and maintains raw data from the sensors in the frames. The symbology metadata identifies a type of symbol that can be overlaid on the frame along with a location in the frame that identifies where the symbol can be overlaid. The apparatus transports the frames including the symbology metadata to an output path without overlaying symbology onto the raw data in the frames. Post processing can be performed to selectively overlay symbology in the image of a corresponding frame based on the symbology metadata.

Abstract: A sensor data processing system and method performs segmentation and packing of image data from one or more ultra-high definition (UHD) image sensor for transport and processing by conventional high definition image data processing systems and pathways. The UHD image frames are segmented into a number of smaller frames and directed in parallel over the conventional HD pathways. Metadata is generated and directed along with the smaller frames. The metadata includes sufficient information for lossless reconstruction of the UHD image frames from the smaller frames.
