| Abstract: |
Genex Technologies, Inc, in collaboration with Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and University of Maryland (College Park), proposes herein an innovative three-dimensional (3D) thermal imaging system that is able to acquire multi-modality facial/head images and perform image analysis for the detection and recognition of thermal brain activity emanating from the skull over particular cortical regions related to concealed intent of the subjects. The unique design of our 3D thermal camera allows it to acquire co-registered dynamic facial images with three independent imaging modalities: 2D texture, 3D geometry, and thermal distribution. We therefore can obtain high-resolution "geo-thermal" images (containing co-registered 3 imaging modalities) in real-time. This unprecedented real-time multi-modality imaging sensing capability provides a rich set of information that could lead to a reliable, practical, and remotely operational sensor system for concealed intend detection and identification. |
| Benefits: |
We foresee a vast market for concealed intent detection with our 3D-IR system. This technology will be useful for criminal investigation, terrorists screening, and airport security. In addition, we also foresee some specific applications in the following areas:
Military Market: monitoring emotional/cognitive states for human performance enhancement (cognitive performance, task accomplishment capability, decision making quality.
Civilian Market: a long-duration driver vigilance detection system for automobile vehicles.
Security and Video Surveillance Market: The technology developed under this SBIR would be a natural extension of Genex existing product lines. We will leverage on our existing sales channel to market this new product.
Medical Market: 3D-IR technology represents a path-breaking advance in multi-modality imaging technology and could have profound impact in medical imaging applications.
