ChemImage Sensor Systems (CISS) announces that Nathaniel R. Gomer, Ph.D, Senior Scientist will be presenting innovative results of the company's work on a robot-deployed Raman system for detecting and identifying explosives at the SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing (SPIE DSS) meeting in Baltimore, MD.
Dr. Gomer's talk entitled, "Shortwave Targeted Agile Raman Robot for the Identification and Confirmation of Emplaced Explosives" will be presented during the "Spectroscopy and Imaging for Explosives Detection I" session (Session 4 of Conference 9073) on Wednesday, May 7 in Room 348 of the Baltimore Convention Center. His discussion will provide attendees with an overview of the project and the capabilities of the system's technology in the detection of improvised explosive devices through the use of standoff hyperspectral imaging.
"It is a great opportunity for me to present the work we have completed to the homeland security community during SPIE DSS 2014 and have the opportunity for discussion and feedback on the project", said Gomer.
"The STARR (Shortwave Targeted Agile Raman Robot) project enabled CISS to continue its efforts to apply hyperspectral standoff imaging to the detection of explosive threats, in this case, with multiple sensors integrated onto an unmanned ground vehicle providing for remote detection and location of an explosive threat," said Matthew P. Nelson, Ph.D., Chief Scientist and Business Director at CISS. "Our primary goal is to continue to demonstrate the capabilities of hyperspectral imaging for explosives detection in as many different operational scenarios as possible."
SPIE DSS is the industry's most important scientific conference and exhibition on optics, IR imaging, lasers, and sensing for defense, security, industry, healthcare, and the environment.
