Equinox Corporation, New York, New York, June 30th 2005:
Equinox presents new DVP-4000 image fusion board product at SPIE
Defense Security Symposium. This video board product incorporates
Equinox's proprietary image fusion algorithms into an FPGA
architecture with embedded programmable capability. Currently included
are (i) user interactive image fusion algorithms that go significantly
beyond standard "A+B" fusion providing an intuitive color
visualization invariant to distracting illumination changes, (ii)
generalized image co-registration to compensate for parallax, scale
and rotation differences between visible/intensified and thermal IR,
as well as non-linear optical and display distortion, and (iii)
automatic gain control (AGC) for dynamic range adaptation.
Since 1999 Equinox has been a leading provider of unique image fusion
products to the US Military spanning algorithms, electronics hardware
and sensor optics. Equinox has produced groundbreaking technology for
providing fusion of thermal infrared and visible modalities to the
dismounted soldier as well as to Naval, Aerial and Biometric
systems. In polarimetry Equinox has unsurpassed expertise in many
types of imaging systems. Equinox is currently developing a number of
automatic target detection, tracking and recognition systems.
