Nonconventional concept for continuous reproduction of target movement.

We demonstrate a novel concept, to the best of our knowledge, for reproduction of the target movement without the frame-by-frame display technique elaborated by the Lumiere brothers. The specially designed elements-apodizing filters with axially quadratic transmittance of radiation, are used to continually record a target position change in time. The recording system deals with nonmatrix detectors and requires only one-step conversion of light energy into an electrical signal to monitor the target under study. The concept makes it possible to develop new techniques for night vision in the near-infrared and thermal spectra. The path and speed of a bouncing and receding ball in the computer screen animation are recorded and reproduced in 3D.

Optical monitoring of a two-substance structured area with nonmatrix detectors.

In this paper, we describe a novel concept, to the best of our knowledge, to monitor changes in the landscape with two arbitrarily distributed substances. To record signals from the mock-up scene, nonmatrix detectors are used, which work in the linear sensitivity range. The formulas that describe the parameters of distributed substances are derived. They allow one to find distribution centers of the two substances, drift and drift speed of the centers, radial standard deviations and their changing rates, and areas of each substance. The technique has been applied to monitor remotely the mock-up scene, which imitates the landscape of vegetation restoration after a fire.

Alternative approach for optical monitoring of arbitrarily distributed substances.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach, to the best of our knowledge, for optical monitoring of integral properties of arbitrarily distributed substances by means of a specially designed optical element radially quadratic transmittance-apodizing filter. The developed remote sensing method deals with nonmatrix detectors and requires only one-step conversion of light energy into an electrical signal to investigate the substance under study. Due to the fact that detectors work in the linear sensitivity range, the nonlinear uncertainty of measurements is minimal. Theoretical studies have been performed to derive formulas characterizing the substance parameters: distribution center, drift and drift speed of the center, radial standard deviation and its changing rate, and diffusion. The technique is applied to remotely monitor the process of reduction of the artificial snow area on the mock-up surface covered with a soil.
