Multipurpose imaging and display system
First Claim
1. A multi-purpose imaging and display system comprising:
- a display carried by a goggle;
a detector carried by said goggle, said detector having a first set of sensing elements and a second set of sensing elements, said detector in operative communication with said display, wherein said first set of sensing elements is configured to be converted from a night vision imaging mode to an imaging mode other than said night vision imaging mode, and said second set of sensing elements configured to perform fluorescence imaging;
a computing unit in operative communication with said display and said detector, said computing unit adapted to receive a peripheral image;
wherein said computing unit is configured to selectively co-register said fluorescence image with said peripheral image or display said night vision image for presentation on said display; and
a filter in operative communication with said detector;
wherein said filter is selectively movable out of communication with said detector such that at least one of said first and said sensing element detects an image other than said respective night vision image and said fluorescence image.

Abstract
A multi-purpose imaging and display system includes a display; a detector coupled to the display and having a field of view; and a filter communicating with the detector. The field of view is imaged by the detector through the filter, the filter configured to be sensitive to a first frequency spectrum, so the detector displays only objects within the field of view on the detector that emit one or more frequencies within the first frequency spectrum. The detector and filter can work together in different operational states or modes for acquiring image data of a target object under investigation. A computing device can be included to process acquired image data, and communication interfaces can be employed to achieve networking of multiple systems. A peripheral interface allows a plurality of peripheral devices to be selectively added to tailor the data acquisition and display capabilities of the imaging and display system.
