Abstract:
Night-blind individuals often have restricted visual fields or other visual impairments that limit their ability to travel at night. The study reported here compared two night-vision devices: one wide-angle light and one with a high-intensity beam. It concluded that no one night light is best for all individuals and that depending on the cause of the night blindness, a smaller angle, high-intensity light may be more useful than a wider angle one.

Abstract:
Soldiers rely on night vision devices to enhance their ability to detect and identify objects of interest in environments of reduced luminosity. The night vision device that is currently being used by United States Army Soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan is based on Image Intensifying (I2) technology. An alternative technology for night vision devices is to use a fused sensor that combines I2 technology and a thermal sensor. The purpose of this study is to compare Soldier performance on detecting and identifying human targets while using a night vision device with I2 technology to their performance while using prototype fused sensors in a field setting. Five retired Special Forces Soldiers, all of which had experience with using night vision devices which employed I2 technology and with thermal imaging technology participated in the study. Participants were asked to detect targets at ranges varying from 50–250 meters and to identify targets as military or civilian at ranges of 25–150 meters. Significant main effects of type of night vision device type (p < 0.0093) and range (p < 0.0003) were found on the ability of the participants to both detect and identify targets. In addition, a significant interaction was determined (p < 0.0219) on the ability of participants to detect targets. Focused analysis revealed participants were more able to correctly detect targets with the I2 technology than with fused sensors at targets ranging from 200–250 meters, and were more able to correctly identify targets with I2 than with fused sensors. The results from this study clearly indicate the prototype fused sensor tested here did not outperform a night vision device based solely on I2 technology, and in several cases demonstrated poorer performance.

Abstract:
AbstractThird generation sensors are under development to enhance capabilities for target detection and identification, threat warning, and 3D imaging. Distinct programs for both cooled HgCdTe and uncooled microbolometer devices are part of this thrust. This paper will describe the technology for HgCdle two-colour, high-definition imaging sensors and threat warning devices, avalanche photodiode arrays for 3D imaging, and the supporting technology being developed to enhance the readouts that support these devices. Uncooled detector initiatives will also be described to reduce pixel size in conjunction with the production of 480×640 arrays. Finally, efforts are also beginning to move both photon and thermal detectors closer to radiative-limited performance while simultaneously reducing the cooling requirements for photon detectors.

Abstract:
Military helicopter pilots are relying more on night vision devices as the number of night operations continues to increase. However, previous studies have indicated that night vision devices do not provide adequate peripheral orientation and motion cues. This study aimed to develop a new technique for examining sustained reductions in the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) as a means of improving motion discrimination among pilots that use night vision devices. Nine participants performed a series of active head rotation tasks designed to establish a baseline VOR measurement in the control condition, and to suppress the VOR in the experimental condition. The results of the active head rotation tasks revealed that the VOR was not significantly reduced in the experimental condition. Future research will be aimed at altering the task duration and stimuli to determine whether active head rotation is capable of reducing the VOR.

Abstract:
Fusion of registered images of night scenery that are obtained from cameras tuned to different band-widths will be a significant component of future night-vision devices. A new algorithm for such multispectral image fusion is described. The algorithm performs gray-scale image fusion using a method based on principal components. The monochrome fused image is then colored by means of a suitable pseudocoloring technique to produce the fused color output image. The approach can easily be used for any number of bandwidths. Examples illustrate the algorithm’s use to fuse an intensified low-light visible image with another image obtained from a single forward-looking infrared camera. The algorithm may be implemented readily in hardware for use in night-vision devices as an important aid to surveillance and navigation in total darkness. The applicability of the technology to transportation is also discussed.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to research of the possibilities of automated design of fast and high-quality multi-lens objectives intended for use in night vision devices with modern image intensifier tubes of generation 4 and 4+, which have photocathodes with a diameter of up to 18 mm. Such image intensifier tubes are characterized by extended spectral sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, and increased resolution. The computer program PODIL, developed earlier for the automated design of arbitrary optical systems, was applied to find out prescription data of fast lenses. For the parametric synthesis of optical systems, the modified evolutionary algorithm implemented in the program was used. The article presents the general methodology and results of automated parametric synthesis of a series of optical systems of objectives with different focal lengths, which contain from 7 to 9 lenses with spherical surfaces. The synthesized lenses provide angular field of view of 10°, 37° and 60° without any vignetting of axial and peripheral beams. The correspondent F numbers are 1.5, 1.33, and 1.4. The working spectral range of the designed lenses is determined by the spectral sensitivity of the photocathodes of the image intensifier tubes. In this research, it covers wavelengths from 0.45 to 0.9 μm. The longitudinal size of the designed optical systems (i.e. the distance from the first optical surface to the photocathode’s plane) is found within the range from 80 to 106 mm. The presented results of aberration analysis confirm the high image quality of the obtained optical systems. In particular, the maximum spatial frequencies of the evaluated polychromatic diffraction modulation transfer functions of the lenses over the entire field in both meridional and sagittal planes exceed 50 mm-1. The maximum values of relative distortion of the lenses are obtained within the range from 1% to 2%.

Abstract:
Night-vision devices are becoming more and more important now, but images captured by these devices often have unpleasing visual effects. According to the characteristics of night-vision images, in this paper we propose an image enhancement approach maintaining color fidelity. Firstly, the image is divided into RGB channel and decomposed into reflectance component and illuminance component. Secondly, the non-uniform illuminance component of the image is filtered again to eliminate the uneven illumination. Finally, we combine the reflectance component and the corrected illuminance component and adjust the brightness of the combined image. The experiment result shows that the proposed enhancement approach has high-performance.

Abstract:
Navigating in unknown terrain on foot in darkness is in many aspects challenging. This can be facilitated by support of GNSS positioning, digital maps and night vision devices. To investigate the advantages of technical support and its use in darkness, an experimental study was performed. In this study, dismounted soldiers equipped with a night vision device navigated in darkness with either a GPS device (with digital map) or a paper map and compass. The results showed that the distance traversed was shorter and that the soldiers needed significantly less time to navigate when supported by the GPS device compared to using a paper map and compass. The main reason for this difference was that the proportion of time in motion was significantly larger when the GPS device was used. Also, subjective ratings showed significantly higher preference for the GPS device than for the paper map and compass.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the advancement of medical technology has given birth into many innovative machines and devices to improve our health life, especially to those who are disabled or gifted. On some people with severe disabilities such as quadriplegia, the human eye-ball does not only serve as a vision system, but also a means of conveying information and intention to other people. This is because although quadriplegic patients suffer the loss of motor sensory functions from the neck and below, upper neck functions such as the vision system is normally spared. This enables the patient to control the movement of his/her eyeballs to convey desired information. Although many similar researches have been done, this paper proposes the use of image processing on image captured using webcam with its Infra-Red (IR) filter removed (a.k.a night vision) to achieve robustness. This allows the algorithm to properly track the location of the iris despite of its and the pupil color variations. Two image processing algorithms are then used, each with owns tradeoff between speed and accuracy. Analysis on both algorithms shows good tracking performance despite of the mentioned tradeoff.

Abstract To protect people under attack, what kinds of tools do peacekeepers need? The United Nations is gradually gaining valuable experience with sophisticated technologies for protection of civilians (POC). However, most remain underused and underevaluated, especially attack helicopters, night vision devices, and nonlethal weapons. This article presents case studies of these three crucial tools to examine their utility and to identify their shortcomings. Attack helicopters are demonstrated as a powerful through ironic symbol and an important means of robust peacekeeping in Central African Republic. Night vision devices proved essential for POC in protecting Haitians from gangs in 2007. Nonlethal weapons, like those developed on the spur of the moment in the Democratic Republic of Congo, helped the UN deal with civilian threats without recourse to lethal force. All these proven technologies have helped peace operations save lives and thus need detailed study to gain lessons. Some novel but untested technologies are also introduced, including laser signaling and digital simulation.

Abstract:
An indicator of squad lethality is the ability to execute battle drills proficiently in a range of real-world situations and environments. While it is a common understanding that military night operations are vastly different from day operations, there is limited research comparing how squad communications and shooting performance differ from day to night in the field. Communication and shooting data were collected from 18 squads that executed a battle drill in the day, and again at night. In the night drills, there were illumination aids of muzzle flashes, chemlights, and Soldier worn night vision devices. The present field study focused on the support-by-fire team, whose central role was to generate suppressive fire which requires substantial teamwork. Findings revealed day-night differences in Soldier communications, firing activity, and the roles of various weapons in generating suppressive fire. Implications for day and night training are also discussed.

Abstract:
The paper studies the matters of using of night vision goggles by the helicopter crews of the State Aviation of Ukraine. The analysis of the perspective systems that can replace night vision goggles based on electronic-optical converter and provide round-the-clock and all-weather flights, landing of the helicopter on unprepared and unlit areas in poor visibility was treated. Currently, the practice of using combat and transport helicopters involves their wider use in the night-time conditions (air warfare, delivery of goods, search-and-rescue operations). Due to low light levels, until recently, most night-time target acquisition tasks have been related with the necessities of providing the artificial target illumination, but in certain instances such illumination deteriorates visibility through an lighttight, phosphorescent atmospheric shells or it just can‟t be carried out. The need for a large number of channels included in the optoelectronic system, caused by the variety of tasks that are solved by it, as well as the imperfection of each individual channel. This forces them to be combined to improve the efficiency of the optoelectronic systems themselves, so that the disadvantages of one channel are offset by the advantages of another. In fact, it is only possible way to ensure the fulfilment of combat task by combining channels operating in different spectral bands in one scheme and by combining detection devices. It can be stated that, despite the undisputed advantages of optoelectronic systems as compared to night-vision goggles, in case of the selecting for installing on a helicopter of optoelectronic systems, it should take into account the much higher cost of optoelectronic systems compared with night-vision goggles. Therefore, the rationale for installing optoelectronic systems must be determined based on the scope of the executing tasks, which are to be conducted by a specific helicopter.

Abstract:
This paper provides two demonstrations that highlight the importance of peripheral vision issues in system design. The first demonstration concerns the ability of the visual system to detect motion, while the second addresses the impact of reduction of visual field on the perception of optical flow data. Educators can use these demonstrations as the basis for discussions about the design implications for warning displays, attention gathering devices, optical flow, off-axis accidents, aging, attention, and night vision goggles. These demonstrations can be used at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Relevant research findings are also discussed, and references for further exploration of the topics are provided.

Abstract:
Falls are the leading cause of injuries and death in elderly individuals who live alone at home. The core service of assistive living technology is to monitor elders’ activities through wearable devices, ambient sensors, and vision systems. Vision systems are among the best solutions, as their implementation and maintenance costs are the lowest. However, current vision systems are limited in their ability to handle cluttered environments, occlusion, illumination changes throughout the day, and monitoring without illumination. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes a 24/7 monitoring system for elders that uses retroreflective tape fabricated as part of conventional clothing, monitored through low-cost infrared (IR) cameras fixed in the living environment. IR camera records video even when there are changes in illumination or zero luminance. For classification among clutter and occlusion, the tape is considered as a blob instead of a human silhouette; the orientation angle, fitted through ellipse modeling, of the blob in each frame allows classification that detects falls without pretrained data. System performance was tested using subjects in various age groups and “fall” or “non-fall” were detected with 99.01% accuracy.

Abstract:
Since atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) graphene was successfully synthesized in 2004, it has garnered considerable interest due to its advanced properties. However, the weak optical absorption and zero bandgap strictly limit its further development in optoelectronic applications. In this regard, other 2D materials, including black phosphorus (BP), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), 2D Te nanoflakes, and so forth, possess advantage properties, such as tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, ultra-broadband optical absorption, and response, enable 2D materials to hold great potential for next-generation optoelectronic devices, in particular, mid-infrared (MIR) band, which has attracted much attention due to its intensive applications, such as target acquisition, remote sensing, optical communication, and night vision. Motivated by this, this article will focus on the recent progress of semiconducting 2D materials in MIR optoelectronic devices that present a suitable category of 2D materials for light emission devices, modulators, and photodetectors in the MIR band. The challenges encountered and prospects are summarized at the end. We believe that milestone investigations of 2D materials beyond graphene-based MIR optoelectronic devices will emerge soon, and their positive contribution to the nano device commercialization is highly expected.

Abstract:
Introduction This study provides descriptive information about drivers with low vision and transportation issues, including their own self-imposed driving restrictions. Methods An electronic survey administered online in late 2013 to early 2014 obtained data from 592 adults with visual impairments. Of those, 17 had a valid driver's license. These 17 provided information about their employment, activity limitations, public transportation use, services received, and transportation self-efficacy. Results Approximately half of the low vision drivers were employed. Most had not received vocational rehabilitation or orientation and mobility (O&M) services. Most drivers limited their night driving and over 70% noted that transportation problems limited their participation in entertainment or leisure activities. Most drivers had access to public transportation, but did not frequently use it. Drivers were generally confident in their ability to perform transportation- related tasks, although overall, drivers using bioptic devices tended to be more confident. Drivers who did not use bioptic devices were least confident in arranging a fair price for daily transportation to work with a driver. Discussion Drivers with low vision who limit their activities and employment due to transportation issues may not be receiving the vocational rehabilitation or O&M services that could help them compensate for these limitations. Further research examining the behaviors and service needs of low vision drivers is indicated, particularly for younger drivers. Study limitations include the small sample size, non-probability sampling method, and electronic data collection. Implications for practitioners Low vision drivers may benefit from evaluation by O&M specialists and vocational rehabilitation providers to determine if additional services are needed. Persons with low vision should be informed about evaluation for bioptic devices, and vocational rehabilitation providers should network with bioptic providers and other professionals to obtain referrals of persons with low vision who are not yet vocational rehabilitation recipients.

Abstract:
Benefiting from the inherent capacity for detecting longer wavelengths inaccessible to human eyes, infrared photodetectors have found numerous applications in both military and daily life, such as individual combat weapons, automatic driving sensors and night-vision devices. However, the imperfect material growth and incomplete device manufacturing impose an inevitable restriction on the further improvement of infrared photodetectors. The advent of artificial microstructures, especially metasurfaces, featuring with strong light field enhancement and multifunctional properties in manipulating the light–matter interactions on subwavelength scale, have promised great potential in overcoming the bottlenecks faced by conventional infrared detectors. Additionally, metasurfaces exhibit versatile and flexible integration with existing detection semiconductors. In this paper, we start with a review of conventionally bulky and recently emerging two-dimensional material-based infrared photodetectors, i.e., InGaAs, HgCdTe, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorus devices. As to the challenges the detectors are facing, we further discuss the recent progress on the metasurfaces integrated on the photodetectors and demonstrate their role in improving device performance. All information provided in this paper aims to open a new way to boost high-performance infrared photodetectors.

First, we introduce the background and motivation of the review, then the 2D materials suitable for IR light emission are presented, followed by a comprehensive review of 2D-material-based spontaneous emission and laser applications. Finally, further development directions and challenges are summarized. We believe that milestone investigations of 2D-material-based IR light emission applications will emerge soon, which are beneficial for 2D-material-based nano-device commercialization.
