Abstract: Described is a manner of determining the three-dimensional direction of a radiating source. The system uses two pairs of coplanar solid-state radiation detectors perpendicularly arranged. The three-dimensional direction of the radiating source is found through the use of suitably positioned walls or absorbers of the radiation. The lengths of the shadows cast by the walls leads to a change in incident radiation detected by the various detectors. A ratio of the detected incident radiation is uniquely and simply related to the angle of the source in three dimensions. When the three-dimensional direction of the object is determined from two points, the distance to the object from each of the points is calculated using triangulation. A glove having one or more LEDs, uses the system to detect the three-dimensional position of each LED, and the three-dimensional positions of the LEDs are used to determine yaw, pitch and roll.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a gas having distinct infrared radiation absorption characteristics. The apparatus includes a spectral source/bolometer for conducting an electrical current and for producing an infrared radiation. The source/bolometer is disposed along an axis and has a temperature and a characteristic resistance, and the characteristic resistance is a predetermined function of the temperature. A return reflector is disposed along the axis beyond the gas such that at least a portion of the infrared radiation passing through the gas is reflected back through the gas to the source/bolometer. The apparatus also includes a driver/detector for driving a current through the source/bolometer, for determining the characteristic resistance, and for detecting the gas from a variation of the characteristic resistance.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for imaging a planetary surface region of interest (ROI). In a primary application, a plurality of space vehicles having antennas mounted thereupon are utilized to collect thermal radiation emitted from the ROI and generate corresponding thermal emission signals. Such thermal emission signals may be combined to yield one or more simple interferometric fringes. The simple fringes may be employed to yield a pixel image of the ROI. In one aspect, one or more simple interferometric fringes may be utilized to generate one or more compound interferometric fringes for use in formation of the pixel image. One or more compound fringes may be utilized to generate additional levels of compound fringes for use in formation of the pixel image. In another aspect, the space vehicles may be positioned in a nullnear-fieldnull imaging arrangement relative to the ROI and a matched filtering approach may be utilized for extracting amplitude data from the interferometric fringe(s) on a basis for use in pixel image formation.
