We would like to build a night vision system using infrared imaging. The basic subsystems will be optics, sensing, signal processing, and video output. The idea is that a lens will focus the infrared radiation from the surrounding area into an array of infrared sensors. The information from the sensors will be processed and used to generate an image in the visual spectrum. This image will be sent to a video monitor.
We chose this project because our team is interested in optics, DSP, and software. Our main concerns are the cost of an array of infrared sensors and the feasibility of the project given our knowledge and time constraint.
