LDV Sensing and Processing for Remote Hearing in a Multimodal Surveillance System

Recent improvements in laser vibrometry and day/night infrared (IR) and electro-optical (EO) imaging technology have created the opportunity to create a long-range multimodal surveillance system. This multimodal capability would greatly improve security force performance through clandestine listening of targets that are probing or penetrating a perimeter defense. This system could also provide the feeds for advanced face and voice recognition systems.
