Abstract

Research currently underway at Georgia Tech focuses on various sensor modalities for detecting covert personnel. One component of that research examines visible band signatures as a means of detection. In particular, concepts centered on non-imaging and low pixel count sensors have been investigated. This paper presents results from that study with particular emphasis on non-imaging spectral sensor concepts. Results from analysis, modeling, and measurements will be presented. Additional concepts for low pixel count sensors will also be presented. Environmental effects including local lighting conditions have been incorporated into the analyses to derive sensor requirements.
