Abstract
Cyan Systems has continued to productize our small pixel broadband Full High Definition (FHD) 1920 x 1080 camera and Ultra High Definition Camera (UHD) 3840 x 2160 camera with low noise and compact Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP). We have field tested several of our FHD and UHD and IR sensors. We report on the performance of the HD and UHD in recent long range test scenarios. The HD small pixel cameras demonstrate key resolution and enabling capabilities such as spectral agility, ability to image in high humidity, smoke, and fog, extended detection range, etc.
Updates on maturation of the compact small pixel FHD camera technology as well as our new MWIR Ultra HD [3840 x 2160] small pixel camera ability to provide wide coverage/WFOV will be provided.
We will report on key camera performance and attributes including NEI,
