The invention introduces applications of the use of coherent and non-coherent light in the high wavelengths of the visible spectrum and in the near wavelengths of the infrared spectrum. The applications include a system for the identification of objects under varying light conditions, a system to determine the distance to and size of objects under observation, and a movement sensor system to detect a significant change of position of objects under observation.

Object identification system applications

A system for the remote identification of objects under varying light conditions. Objects are illuminated with a non-coherent light source for viewing by an observer. A low power laser diode and lens system which sends a laser beam out on an inclined plane determines the distance to and size of objects under observation. A significant change of position of objects under observation causes an alarm to be activated.

Object identification system

Applicant's invention is a method and apparatus for inhibiting laser detection wherein the infrared laser light from a laser gun is absorbed, diffused, and dispersed, hindering the quick response needed for accurate laser readings. The laser detection inhibitor incorporates a rectangular thermoplastic lens panel and a filtering treatment which coats or is infused into the thermoplastic lens panel. The thermoplastic lens panel is suitably formed for placement over a vehicular license plate. The panel is adapted for placement over the license plate. After the panel is sprayed or infused during molding with the filtering treatment, the panel is affixed over the license plate using the existing attachment means for the vehicular license plate. Applicant's invention may also be placed in spray or film form over other reflective vehicular parts. Applicant's invention uniformly covers the license plate absorbing, diffusing, and dispersing infrared laser light and therefore, inhibiting laser detection.

A terrain imaging apparatus and method for indicating to a user the location and distance of moving objects from a user. A transmitting means transmitts a coherent radiation beam to distant objects and receives back the coherent radiation beam reflected from the objects. A communicating means indicates the direction and distance of objects moving in that field relative to the user by determining the distances to the objects from the transmitting and receiving means and the direction in which the beam is directed to synthesize a vector field image of the terrain based on a set of direction measurements and corresponding range measurements and indicating the direction the user is facing relative to the terrain image.
