  • Patent number: 9197822
    Abstract: An array augmented parallax image enhancement system and method is used for creating an artificially large depth of field behind images of detritus, or obscurants, to augment spatial in-filling of the obscured pixels in the desired target image. A plurality of relatively small aperture cameras produces a plurality of raw video streams. An obscurant identification module detects and maps the obscurants. A spatial averaging module replaces the obscurants with target image pixels in an output video stream that is produced by combining the plurality raw video streams.

  • Patent number: 7411662
    Abstract: A system and method for performing high-resolution imagery of a target are provided. One embodiment is a method of performing high-resolution imagery of a target comprising: generating a chirped waveform that modulates a light signal transmitted toward a target for performing active LADAR of the target; generating a low-frequency local oscillator waveform for performing active imaging; and simultaneously performing passive imaging and active LADAR.
