Background
The Canadian Forces (CF) are regularly required to select equipment to support their operations. Sensors are an integral part of the electro-optical systems used to detect and locate threats. One of Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC)'s mandates is to support the CF in its electro-optical system acquisition process by technically translating their operational needs, evaluating the performance of sensors currently in use, evaluating the potential of sensors from emerging technologies, analyzing options and issuing recommendations.
Sensor performance is evaluated in four ways, depending on time and objectives:
1. Laboratory characterization of basic sensor parameters via quantitative measurements; 2. Exterior testing to emulate sensor performance in conditions similar to those encountered in operation (e.g. low light, natural spectral content, difficult environment, etc.); 3. Sensor performance modelling; and 4. Laboratory application of comparative evaluation methods to measure performances similar to those encountered in operation. The last method is included in activities that aim to develop new methodologies for performance characterization representative of those encountered in an operational environment.
Another DRDC mandate is to find methods for improving vision system performance. This field includes the development of image processing algorithms that modify the local dynamic or contrast mapping, or that compress images to make them easier to transmit on a network. The performance of the algorithms developed is then evaluated using processing and image analysis software.
Objective
The objective of this statement of work is the provision of scientific and engineering services to:
1. Develop new characterization methods to more accurately evaluate performance in operating environments of electro-optical systems covering spectral bands from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared and including image intensifier systems (I2); and
2. Develop image processing algorithms to improve the performance of vision systems and measure their impact on image quality.
The work shall be completed at the DRDC Valcartier site.
