Abstract: Techniques for reducing a likelihood of detection of an imaging system by another imaging system are provided. For example, a mechanism may be used to interrupt an optical path between pulse biased thermal sensors and an aperture of the system when the pulsed biased thermal sensors are pulse biased. For example, emissions may be directed to a beam dump. Other techniques may include a mechanism for linearly moving the thermal sensor array or rotating a mirror.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein describe a divided-aperture infrared spectral imaging (DAISI) system that is adapted to acquire multiple IR images of a scene with a single-shot (also referred to as a snapshot). The plurality of acquired images having different wavelength compositions that are obtained generally simultaneously. The system includes at least two optical channels that are spatially and spectrally different from one another. Each of the at least two optical channels are configured to transfer IR radiation incident on the optical system towards an optical FPA unit comprising at least two detector arrays disposed in the focal plane of two corresponding focusing lenses. The system further comprises at least one temperature reference source or surface that is used to dynamically calibrate the two detector arrays and compensate for a temperature difference between the two detector arrays.

Abstract: A method and an imaging system for providing an infrared image of an object comprises an optical element configured to capture infrared radiation from the object, an infrared sensing module, a processing unit, and a shutter assembly. The infrared sensing module comprises a plurality of infrared detectors, each configured to receive the infrared radiation from the object after passage through the optical element and generate a measurement signal from the received infrared radiation. The processing unit is coupled to the infrared sensing module and configured to convert the measurement signals into temperature data associated with the object for providing the infrared image. The shutter assembly is disposed between the infrared sensing module and the optical element, and is configured to selectively pass the infrared radiation from the object through to the infrared sensing module. The shutter assembly comprises a temperature controller configured to adjust a temperature of the shutter assembly.

Abstract: A system simultaneously tracks multiple objects. All or a subset of the objects includes a wireless receiver and a transmitter for providing an output. The system includes one or more wireless transmitters that send commands to the wireless receivers of the multiple objects instructing different subsets of the multiple objects to output (via their respective transmitter) at different times. The system also includes object sensors that receive output from the transmitters of the multiple objects and a computer system in communication with the object sensors. The computer system calculates locations of the multiple objects based on the sensed output from the multiple objects.
