Abstract
Abstract : We present dual-band infrared image data collected as part of the Multidomain Smart Sensors effort at the U. S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The goal of this effort is to produce large-format, staring focal plane arrays (FPAs) that are able to see the battlefield in both the 3 to 5-micrometer (mid-wave infrared or MWIR) and 8 to l2-micrometer (long-wave infrared or LWIR) atmospheric transmission windows. The data was collected under laboratory and field test conditions using a simultaneously integrating, pixel-registered, 256 x 256, dual-band focal plane array produced by Lockheed Martin using quantum-well infrared photodetector (QWIP) technology. The dual-band FPA was installed in a camera that was taken in the field to gather image data on military targets. The pixel-registered dual-band FPA is well suited for the application of image fusion algorithms. We also applied some of these image fusion techniques to the imagery to enhance the visibility of targets.
