MPEX Electronic Eye™

In military environments, personnel in ground vehicles often lack 360-degree situational awareness and the ability to track very fast-moving objects such as missile interceptors. The same need exists in unmanned aerial vehicles and on omni-directional tower mounts used for border surveillance and critical infrastructure security. Currently in development, MPEX Electronic Eye™ automatically processes imagery from moving cameras within a 360-degree field-of-view (FOV), representing a major advance in computer vision and video surveillance technology. Unlike most advanced vision systems, which are limited to stereo vision and can only scan the horizon in a narrow FOV, MPEX Electronic Eye™ emulates the vision systems of insects and reptiles by applying sophisticated computational processing of imagery from multiple cameras with varying focal lengths and parallaxes. Compared to conventional systems, MPEX Electronic Eye™ provides significantly more accurate target detection and localization. Current applications include wide FOV for surveillance, high-resolution narrow FOV for target identification and tracking, and fast electronically addressable pointing for tracking multiple targets.
