What is a WAVcam?

The WAVcam simultanously provides a:

• persistent, panoramic view with
• high spatial resolution at distance.

Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc

What Does That Mean to Me?

Persistent, 90˚, panoramic view up to 752 miles. High spatial resolution at distance.

Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc

How is WAVcam Different?

The WAVcam is not/does not use: A rotating head A very large camera array A fisheye lens A mirror lens A panoramic + long range STQ The WAVcam employs a unique beam steering technology

Innovative Signal Analysis, Inc

How Does it Work? Using Beam Steering Technology developed by ISA, the WAVcam assembles a WAV (wide angle view) by placing up to 41 high definition images side-by-side.

• f movements

Operators click a WAV area to display a Real-time

Full Resolution frame

• Allows target categorization and identification
• Is the view obtained by a zoom camera
• Multiple Full Res frames can be displayed

simultaneously and independently by multiple users

• Users can “pan/tilt/zoom” in the image with mouse

commands

• A WAV equals about 40 of these frames for high def

systems

• Options for day (visible) and night (midwave or

longwave IR) operation “No detection” areas can be defined “Alert” areas can be defined

WAVcam Features

ISA presents the WAVcam System’s ability to resolve targets as a percentage of the probability that the sensor can Detect, Recognize or Identify a target at a given distance. The following assumptions are made for the chart in the next slide:

• All WAVcam sensors have a 90˚ horizontal field of view.
• Detection = detecting that something is “out there”.
• Recognition = discriminating between classes of targets such as human, animal, vehicle, etc.
• Identification = the ability to identify as a “friend or foe”. An example would be to discriminate

between a person and a person carrying a weapon.

• Human = land-based with a surface area of 1.8m x .5m
• Vehicle = land-based with a surface area of 2.3m x 2.3m
• Vessel = marine environment with a surface area or 2m x 6m
• VIS = visible light sensor with a 200mm lens
• MWIR = cryogenically cooled thermal sensor with a 160mm lens
• LWIR = uncooled thermal sensor with a 66mm lens

Example – Looking at the last bar on the chart, “There is an 80% probability of detecting a human at 5 kilometers with the VIS sensor.”

Operational Benefits of the WAVcam

Dilemma WAVcam Mitigation

Not able to determine best port partner camera to view area of interest. Operator can click on any vessel within the panoramic view to provide zoomed in, full resolution, high definition image in a separate window. Difficult to identify and track numerous small vessels in port. Unified panoramic view enables simultaneous viewing of all vessels and a graphic indication of motion direction and speed. Not able to put the single camera view in context. Unified panoramic display indicates the geolocation of each zoomed view. Difficulty incorporating and using hundreds of cameras available from port partners. WAVcam provides wide area persistent coverage and high resolution imagery from a single sensor. Not all operators can access/operate all cameras simultaneously. All operators have access to his/her own instance of the panoramic view. Operators can digitally pan/tilt/zoom within the panoramic view in order to examine any portion of the panoramic view in high definition.
