  • Abstract
    Novel concept of sensor fusion algorithms implementation are proposed. While the algorithmic design is tested and implemented in generic software on a Windows PC, a first single ASIC implementation of the sensor fusion is being readied for the marketplace. A novel optical approach is suggested for a hand-held or goggle sensor fusion implementation. Together with a fusion ASIC, the proposed approach will yield new class of devices ultimately replacing existing NVG and similar platforms. New concepts in sensor fusion of visible, near and far IR sensors coupled with target tracking algorithms are also proposed and implemented in a single ASIC system
