Abstract

A mobile three-dimensional sensor configuration is provided with a first sensor of a second type mounted proximate to the first sensor of a first type. A second sensor of the second type is mounted proximate to a second sensor of the first type. The first and second sensors are coupled to a first platform operable to vary the azimuth and elevation of the first and second sensors of the first and second types. The first and second platforms are mounted on a translational drive configured to independently translate the first and second platforms with respect to one another. A controller is configured to receive images sensors of and further configured to create a pair fused images of the first sensors of the first and second type and the second sensors of the first and second type. The controller is still further configured to display the pair of fused images.
