Low-energy radar for handheld IR-cameras : Using mmWave radar as a complement for Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging in handheld cameras

Abstract: The aim of this project is to assess whether a low energy radar, more specifically the mmWave radar from Acconer could be used as a complement to the handheld cameras from FLIR, in order to improve its performance, in particular the alignment of visual and infra-red image. The specific camera used for this project is a FLIR C5 IR-camera. It was found that if the distance is known, then one could align the images more easily and by the help of the radar this could occur automatically instead of doing it manually as it is implemented today.
