A European consortium consisting of GMV S.A. (Spain, “Grupo Tecnològico e Industrial”), RMA (Belgium, “Royal Military Academy”), TUM (“Technische Universität München”) and DLR (Germany, “Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt”) developed in the SUM project (Surveillance in an urban environment using mobile sensors) a low-cost multi-sensor vehicle based surveillance system in order to enhance situational awareness for moving security and military patrols as well as for static checkpoints. The project was funded by the European Defense Agency (EDA) in the Joint Investment Program on Force Protection (JIP-FP). The SUMIRAD (SUM imaging radiometer) system, developed by DLR, is a fast radiometric imager and part of the SUM sensor suite. This paper will present the principle of the SUMIRAD system and its key components. Furthermore the image processing will be described. Imaging results from several measurement campaigns will be presented. The overall SUM system and the individual subsystems are presented in more detail in separate papers during this conference. |
