Enhancing Terahertz scanners using Compressive Sensing Technology

MY NOTE: THIS STORY CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE IT MENTIONS A NEW AGREEMENT SIGNED BY IQT, SOME OF YOU WILL REMEMBER ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH ADVANCED PHOTONIX ON NOVEMBER 5TH, 2010, TO ENGINEER A LOW COST ANOMALY DEVICE USING THz, 

http://terahertztechnology.blogspot.com/2010/11/advanced-photonix-to-engineer-low-cost.html

INVIEW TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT ACCESS THE SPECTRAL WAVELENGTH IN THE MANNER WE TYPICALLY DISCUSS HERE, BUT RATHER USES COMPRESSIVE SENSING TECHNOLOGY. ONE HAS TO WONDER IF IQT INTENDED TO SOMEHOW ENHANCE THE ANOMALY DETECTION DEVICE WITH COMPRESSIVE SENSING TECHNOLOGY. YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS APPRECIATED.

InView Technology Corporation, a world-leading developer of innovative computational imaging products, today announced a strategic investment and development agreement from In-Q-Tel (IQT), the strategic investment firm that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

InView's business is built on proprietary Compressive Sensing technology that allows high-performance cameras and hyperspectral imagers to be built using greatly simplified detector architectures. Compressive Sensing technology substitutes innovative math for complex electronic components, allowing cameras and hyperspectral imagers to be built at lower cost and with higher resolution. The technology is especially compelling for those wavelengths where it is difficult to build cost-effective, high-resolution focal plane arrays.

"InView has demonstrated innovative camera technologies," said Syd Ulvick, Vice President, Physical and Biological Technologies practice at IQT. "The unique computational imaging architecture provides tremendous opportunities to develop cutting-edge products."

"We are delighted to have IQT as a strategic investor and partner," said Bob Bridge, Founder and CEO of InView. "InView has an innovative technology platform that works across wavelengths including ultra violet, visual, infrared, and terahertz. We are pleased that working with IQT will open the door to opportunities to tailor our technology to meet the needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community."

About InView Technology Corporation:

InView Technology Corporation is a privately-held company headquartered in Austin, Texas. InView delivers high-performance cameras and hyper-spectral imagers using proprietary computational imaging technology that result in unmatched price-performance across the electromagnetic spectrum.
