Photon

Description

PHOTON is a multi-sensor enhanced driver vision system with digital sensor fusion for situational awareness in dark, smoke, smog, fog and other atmospheric obscurants. It is a multi-band imaging system that can be mounted on ground, marine and aerial vehicles. Digital Pixel Level sensor fusion enabled extended dynamic range of the image while highlighting details that would typically not be visible to the naked eye.

PHOTON combines complementary information from each sensor into a single, superior image which can be displayed to the operator. It maximizes scene detail and contrast producing superior image quality with maximised information content. The video fusion algorithm embedded into PHOTON is a new approach to multi-scale fusion which benefits from much faster execution times and reduced memory overheads.
