Beyond EO/IR: Novel sensor concepts for naval applications

16 Apr 2026
Keynote Theatre
  • Comparative evaluation of colour TV, polarimetric, neuromorphic, and SPAD sensors against baseline EO/IR modalities.
  • Defined use cases and representative maritime objects for structured evaluation.
  • Dual approach using quantitative metrics and algorithmic assessment (detection, classification, tracking).
  • Identification of system concepts and user perspectives to guide layered integration of novel sensors.
