Background:
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Valcartier has
for mandate to compare in operational scenarios, target
detection and recognition performance of optically image fused
sighting device with small arm weapons, more specifically, a
visible image acquired by an image intensifier (I2) sensor is
optically fused with an image acquired by an uncooled infrared
(IR) imaging sensor. DRDC has infrastructure/facilities based on
digitally image fusion. A performance comparison between
optically and digitally fusion technologies will substantially
benefit DRDC S&T work and our knowledge to continue to provide
pertinent guidance to our clients.
