INNOVATION > SITUATIONAL AWARENESSIntelligent Image Enhancement and Sensor FusionIn mission-critical situations, effective surveillance involves overcoming a range of factors to deliver an enhanced real-time situational awareness picture. This includes operating in both day and night conditions, mitigating adverse weather and other environmental effects and compensating for vehicle movement and motion, distance or other operational variables. Digital Barriers develops enhanced vision and situational awareness solutions that employ world-class image processing and enhancement and intelligent sensor fusion. We combine proprietary technologies with optimised algorithmic techniques to address the full scope of operational requirements. We deploy these in a range of harware and software formats. Our solutions include image restoration and enhancement techniques (such as contrast enhancement and noise reduction), as well as intelligent image analysis, image registration and sensor fusion, stabilisation and super-resolution, and 3D and panoramic imaging - all delivered as real-time tools to aid effective interpretation of situational awareness data.
What you can see below are examples of real-time image enhancement and processing in action across different sensors and imaging modalties - demonstrating just some of the capabilities that Digital Barriers offers in the areas of image processing and sensor fusion. SCENARIO 1: Image enhancement
A fundamental tool for improving vision and situational awareness, image enhancement can significantly aid interpretation of sensor data. Our techniques include noise reduction, the removal of non-uniform blurring from high-motion imagery and multiple approaches to local area contrast enhancement (e.g. LACE), including computationally efficient algorithms.
SCENARIO 2: Advanced image stabilisationStabilisation offers significant operational benefit in obtaining a usable situational awareness picture and can be combined with other processing techniques. Our image stabilisation tools include advanced techniques to address randomly moving images (using complex projective registration), as well as computationally efficient approaches, such as horizon detection.
SCENARIO 3: Real-time sensor fusion with zoom
Sensor fusion combines different types of sensors - such as visible band and thermal - to enhance perception in situations where illumination conditions or environmental factors are not suited to a single sensor type. Digital Barriers is a world leader in this field, providing adaptive, intelligent fusion solutions and the only fusion solution with real-time zoom.
