Abstract: A video imaging system for use with or in a mobile video capturing system (e.g., an airplane or UAV). A multi-camera rig containing a number of cameras (e.g., 4) receives a series of mini-frames (e.g., from respective field steerable mirrors (FSMs)). The mini-frames received by the cameras are supplied to (1) an image registration system that calibrates the system by registering relationships corresponding to the cameras and/or (2) an image processor that processes the mini-frames in real-time to produce a video signal. The cameras can be infra-red (IR) cameras or other electro-optical cameras. By creating a rigid model of the relationships between the mini-frames of the plural cameras, real-time video stitching can be accelerated by reusing the movement relationship of a first mini-frame of a first camera on corresponding mini-frames of the other cameras in the system.

Abstract: A method for collecting data of species in the magnetosphere includes the steps of: (a) tuning at least one laser to spectral indices of targeted atomic or molecular species located in the magnetosphere; and (b) measuring fluorescence radiation from each of the targeted species, in response to the tuning step. The method determines range to each of the targeted species. The method geo-locates the species with respect to the Earth to provide a registered map of the targeted species in three dimensions (3D) with respect to the Earth; and temporally trends each of the targeted species to provide the registered map in four dimensions (4D). The method may also determine abundance from multiple wavelengths returned from the fluorescence radiation of the targeted species.

Abstract: Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) imaging systems, method, and computer readable media for generating super-resolved images are described. Super-resolved images are generated by obtaining data sets of cloud points representing multiple views of an object where the views have a view shift, enhancing the views by duplicating cloud points within each of the data sets, compensating for the view shift using the enhanced views, identifying valid cloud points, and generating a super-resolved image of the object by integrating valid cloud points within the compensated, enhanced views.

Abstract: A system for identifying at least one species in space includes a physical response module for outputting multiple spectral data based on received signals from a target in space; a calibration module for receiving the spectral data and outputting a first dataset, including density of an {x, y, z} coordinate location in space as a function of time, t; and a classification module for receiving the first dataset, and outputting a second dataset including multiple tuples of {x, y, z, t, d} associated with the at least one species, wherein d is density of the at least one species. Also included is an HD processor for receiving the second dataset from the classification module and providing a visual image of the second dataset to a user.

Abstract: A tracking system and method automatically tracks time spent by end users in different applications on the end users' computers while performing tasks. The time keeping application is integrated with at least some of the applications on the end user computers. This integration allows the time keeping application to detect and track events, such as the opening and closing of files, that signify a change in the task being performed by the end users by receiving messages directly from the other applications being used by the end user. The time keeping software may automatically suggest a categorization for the task based on at least one criteria.
