Assessing the prospects for robust sub-diffraction limited super-resolution imaging with deep neural networks

High resolution images are critical for a wide variety of military detection, recognition and identification tasks. Super-resolution reconstruction algorithms aim to enhance the image resolution beyond the capability of the imaging system being used. Until recently, undersampling of the optical signal on the image sensor has been the key factor...

Results from the search-lidar demonstrator project for detection of small Sea-Surface targets

Coastal surveillance and naval operations in the littoral both have to deal with the threat of small sea-surface targets. These targets have a low radar cross-section and a low velocity that makes them hard to detect by radar. Typical threats include jet skis, FIAC's, and speedboats. Previous lidar measurements at the coast of the Netherlands...
