Technical Discussion
Terrax has various systems and new technology yielding an imaging system consisting of cameras, image processors and a network which collectively yield a hyperspectral real time image capture and decoding system.
The system is a low power, lightweight hyperspectral imaging system with automated image analysis and data optimization for real time target detection and comparison of the hyperspectral data. It is designed to fit within the size, weight, and power envelope of a portable environment as well as fixed locations. It is robust and includes several on-board real time target detection and data optimization algorithms based on a calibration library.
The system uses a combination of low power, high speed processors, solid state disk arrays, and proven hyperspectral band reduction software. The hyperspectral imager is a compact, low-weight asymmetric anamorphic imaging spectrometer covering broad spectral regions available from a specialty manufacturer. The Theia system optimizes the hyperspectral data set so that critical analysis information can be transmitted in near real time across both a secure single channel data link and a redundant mesh network. The complete imaging system is contained in a variety of packages suitable for deployment in a mobile vehicle environment or with the imaging head remote from the processing stack such as a building perimeter security system.
The detection capability and corresponding display varies with the model and the database of cubes representing calibration for specific chemical or material signatures. Detection and determination can reliably work over distances from a few feet to 300 feet. Longer range systems for special compilations are available under special development arrangements.
