Abstract: Binocular system, including method and apparatus, for viewing a scene. The system may comprise a left camera and a right camera that create left and right video signals from detected optical radiation. At least one of the cameras may include a sensor that is sensitive to infrared radiation. The system also may comprise a left display and a right display arranged to be viewed by a pair of eyes. The left and right displays may be configured to present respective left video images and right video images formed with visible light based respectively on the left and right video signals.

Abstract: A solid state x-ray detector which is a two-dimensional array of individual pixel elements is described. The hybrid semiconductor construction produces detector elements with high spatial resolution (<30 microns), high sensitivity to the entire x-ray spectrum, and frame rates greater than 1000 Hz. In a biomedical application these arrays provide high quality real time digital radiographic images that are directly coupled to an image processing system for image enhancement and computer aided diagnosis. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the hybrid construction incorporated into an automated manufacturing process facilitates the real time, nondestructive, x-ray examination of manufactured objects during the production process. Structural defects in inorganic objects under test are identified in real time during the manufacturing process are corrected when feedback signals are generated from the electronic image data generated during the nondestructive test process.
