Sensor Fusion

Image Intensifier Tubes

Basically, it intensifies images.

Imagine it as a regular camera that takes in images, but the lens is magical, and it intensifies the light input, and you get a much brighter image as the output.

Pros

• Finer details

Cons

• Grayscale only

• No emphasis on heat sources

Thermal imaging

It uses infrared.

Thermal imaging, as the name implies, sees temperature, not optical images. It does not see visible light, but sees a gradient of temperatures, which it then converts to images with colours representing different temperature.

Pros

• Easy to see heat signatures, e.g. animals, people, equipment

Cons

• No clear images

Fused Image

Fusion of both images generates an image with good detail and emphasis on heat signatures.

Power Storage, Conversion, and Distribution System

• Seamless switching between charging and discharging

• 90%+ power conversion efficiency between stages at designed loads

Convolutional-Neural-Network-Based Human Detection

Auto Focus

The design aims to control focus automatically without manual input from the operator.

Image Intensifier to Image Sensor Coupling

Fiber taper scales and couples image at minimum size and light-loss.
