Abstract: In an approach to environmental surveillance, a system includes one or more computer processors; one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media; and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors. The program instructions include instructions to create a model of an environment; assign one or more devices to the model; input source data for the model, wherein the input source data is at least one of synthetic data and real data; determine events based on the one or more devices and the input source data; and create one or more outputs based on the events.

Abstract: Hyperspectral imaging is carried out by utilizing a set of lasers to illuminate a scene containing a sample in a series of successive laser illuminations by turning on at least one laser in the set of lasers for each successive illumination in the series. Here, each laser generates a known wavelength of light. Imaging is further carried out by utilizing a camera to capture an image of the scene during each successive laser illumination, thus generating a series of successive images. However, no dispersive element is utilized between the scene and the camera. Imaging is still further carried out by processing the captured images to produce scene data. The scene data is compared with target profiles to determine whether the scene includes at least one target of interest and taking a predetermined action in response to detecting at least one target of interest.
