  • Patent number: 10425540
    Abstract: A method of operating optical systems includes forming a stitched image of a field of regard using a first optical device. The stitched image of the field of regard comprises a plurality of sub-images associated with a first field of view. The method also includes receiving an image of a second field of view from a second optical device and determining a location of the image of the second field of view in the stitched image. The method further includes communicating an indicator to the second optical device. The indicator is to the location of the image of the second field of view in the stitched image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6323474
    Abstract: A system for modulating light is disclosed. The system comprises a detector (102) that receives input radiation (101) and generates detector data (104) representative of the input radiation (101). An information processor (106) receives the detector data (104) and generates control data (108). A filter (110) associated with the detector (102) receives the control data (108) and filters the radiation input into the detector (102) in response to the control data (108). A system for light modulation is disclosed. The system comprises a sensor (114) that receives input radiation (101) and generates detector data (104) representative of the input radiation (101). An information processor (106) receives and processes the detector data (104) and generates control data (108). A filter (110) receives the control data (108) and filters the radiation in response to the control data (108). A method for modulating light is disclosed.
