  • Thermal imaging test article
    Patent number: 11579018
    Abstract: In an example, a thermal imaging test article comprises a block configured to be attached to a blackbody on a back side of the block, the block having a variable thickness to represent facial features of a human face, the block including a cutout to allow a thermal imaging device to see the blackbody behind the block through the cutout, and one or more heaters thermally coupled to the block to produce heat to heat the block. The variable thickness of the block and the heat produced by the one or more heaters are selected to simulate thermally the human face on a front side of the block.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2022
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2023
    Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Homeland Security
    Inventors: William Hastings, Kevin Gemp, Elyssa Kaplan, Kevin Dickey, Daniel Sims

  • Active hyperspectral imaging system
    Patent number: 10451548
    Abstract: A system for generating reflectance values for a target that includes a plurality of electromagnetic radiation sources for irradiating the target, an imager for generating a plurality of digital representations of the target that includes an array of filter elements for filtering electromagnetic radiation reflected by the target through an array of filter elements, and a detector for detecting the filtered electromagnetic radiation at an array of detection elements. The system includes processors for determining a set of reflectance values for a portion of the target based on a first digital representation of the target generated in response to irradiation of the target with radiation of a first wavelength band and a second digital representation of the target generated in response to irradiation of the target with radiation of a second wavelength band.
