Ground Tactical Vision Comes Full-Circle

The “always-true” use case for 360º vision systems is to avoid blind spots. Blind spots are a byproduct of conventional cameras. They have a limited field of view and they only see in the direction that they were pointed at. Point them to a new direction and you miss what happened at the old direction. 360º vision systems do not have this drawback. They are always “on”, in any view direction. Among their disadvantages we have seen, depending on their configuration: a trade-off between temporal (frame rate) and spatial (range) resolution, and a limitation to single EO/IR bands.
