Abstract: Non-transitory computer-readable media, spectroradiometer systems, and methods for calibrating a spectroradiometer. In one embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to perform a set of operations. The set of operations includes receiving spectral data regarding an object-of-interest that is captured by a handheld spectroradiometer, detecting a characteristic of the object-of-interest by performing a spectral analysis on the spectral data that is received, and controlling a display to display the characteristic of the object-of-interest.

Abstract: A simple, effective and inexpensive water-quality measurement system comprises a housing suitable for travel on or in a body of water; one or more sensors for measuring water properties as the housing travels; a memory for storing information relating to the measured water properties; and software for processing measured properties. This invention combines into a single, inexpensive, and comprehensive system the sensors, computer hardware, signal-processing, Geographic Information System data, and Decision Support Software. This integration yields a system of novel and unparalleled utility. The water properties measured by the system may include: water temperature, water conductivity, pH level, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, water depth, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), ORP, chlorides, nitrates, and phosphates.

Abstract: A three-dimensional, real-time, multi-phenomenology data reconstruction and fusion system and method are described for scanning bags, luggage, and the like. The approach blends 3D computed topography with other sensing modalities such as magnetic resonance and an embedded decision-directed data reconstruction/exploitation structure to ensure high performance and real-time operation. A 2D array architecture provides sets of 2D projections immediately, which can be exploited as a precursor to a full 3D data reconstruction and exploitation to enhance system speed. Various processing algorithms to determine object type and next best view or reconstructed slice for fast operation at high classification rates; to provide significantly enhanced impulse response performance, such that subtle details are not obscured by bright scattering objects; and to exploit both the multi-modality data and exploited entities for explosive detection, for example.
