CIF: Small: Atmospheric Absorption-Based Computational Sensing — NSF Award to Trustees of Boston University (MA, $600,000)
Humans and machines make sense of their surroundings first and foremost using vision, and vision is limited when there is a lack of light in the familiar visible spectrum, with wavelengths from 380 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red). However, light is often plentiful in situations when visible light is lacking (such as at nig

| Abstract | Humans and machines make sense of their surroundings first and foremost using vision, and vision is limited when there is a lack of light in the familiar visible spectrum, with wavelengths from 380 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red). However, light is often plentiful in situations when visible light is lacking (such as at night), but most of it is at wavelengths far beyond the red end of the visible spectrum. This long-wave infrared (LWIR) light is responsible for the images produced by common thermal |
