  • Method for optical detection of surveillance and sniper personnel
    Patent number: 9995685
    Abstract: A method comprising: providing a device for detecting a biological signature behind a glass surface using non-visible light is provided. A method of emitting one or more pulses of energy at a specific wavelength over a field of illumination towards a target area, filtering out one or more returning wavelengths from the target area, and determining, based on the filtering, if a combination of a fluorescence wavelength and a source wavelength is present, is also provided. An associated system is further provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Smith, Gerald Edwin Bender, Roger D. Whitmer, Patrick T. Toohey
