   IMAGING and IMAGE  PROCESSING

 Our experience in imaging science goes back over fifteen years. We were involved in the earliest phases of the introduction of image processing to medicine and hold some of the basic patents in analog optical computer design as a result. We have designed and built a wide variety of systems and devices for these applications. We have explored both the Analog and Digital domains using both Electronic and Optical methodologies as means to implement image processors.

We are currently involved in Hyperspectral Imaging using a proprietary video camera that covers the spectral range of 0.5 microns to 25 microns continuously using an uncooled detector that achieves single photon detection efficiency. We are preparing this instrument for an upcoming Space Shuttle mission, and it is being considered for a future Mars exploration mission. This instrument, in conjunction with novel software developed by one of our affiliated companies, is capable of the passive detection of chemical species. We are also evaluating its potential to detect certain precursors to earthquakes. CONTACT US
