Federal Electro-Optics proposes to investigate a novel imaging approach, developed by the principals for aerospace applications, which will increase the amount and improve the quality of information available in a medical thermographic image. The technique, termed Frequency-modulated Reticle Imaging Thermal Energy or FRITE, when implemented will cost less than current thermographic systems and provide information not presently acquired. In addition to providing intensity information from ultraviolet to the far infrared, the proposed system will also furnish true "color" information in very narrow bands, a concept termed hyperspectral imaging. FEO believes this information could open new areas of diagnostic medical imaging leading to improved detection and diagnosis of abnormal tissue and organ function. This technology could be applied to other commercial applications including structural stress analysis and remote sensing. During Phase I, FEO will further investigate existing thermographic imagers; design the necessary imaging optics; develop specifications for the design of the reticle; select appropriate detectors; design the processing electronics and specify the host processing system. The results of Phase I will guide a prototype construction in Phase II.

联邦光电公司提议研究一种新颖的成像方法， 由航空航天应用的负责人开发，这将增加 医疗信息的数量和质量的提高 thermographic image. The technique, termed Frequency-modulated Reticle 热能成像或 FRITE 实施后的成本低于 当前的热成像系统并提供目前未提供的信息 获得的。 除了提供紫外线强度信息外 对于远红外，拟议的系统还将提供真实的“颜色” 非常窄波段的信息，这一概念称为高光谱成像。 FEO 相信这一信息可以开辟诊断医学的新领域 成像可以改善异常组织的检测和诊断 organ function. 该技术可应用于其他商业领域 应用包括结构应力分析和遥感。 在第一阶段，FEO 将进一步调查现有的热成像技术 imagers;设计必要的成像光学器件；制定规范 十字线的设计；选择合适的探测器； design the processing electronics and specify the host processing system. 结果 第一阶段的设计将指导第二阶段的原型建设。
