Practical guidance for building and evaluating surveillance systems that combine electro-optical and infrared imaging. This book brings together the core ideas needed to design, calibrate, operate, and assess multi-sensor EO and IR systems for persistent detection, tracking, and target identification.
It begins with the mission side of the problem, clarifying what surveillance systems are expected to do, how performance is measured, and how to translate operational needs into system requirements. From there, it moves into the fundamentals of visible and thermal imaging, including optics, illumination, detector behavior, image sampling, and the physical differences between EO, SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR sensing.
The middle chapters focus on system building and image quality. Readers will find clear treatment of sensor selection, timing, networking, calibration, registration, stabilization, and the effects of weather, clutter, motion, glare, and backscatter. The book also explains common preprocessing methods used to prepare frames for reliable analysis, such as contrast enhancement, denoising, background subtraction, and dynamic range management.
Key topics include:
- Detection, tracking, identification, and verification workflows
- Camera and infrared sensor characteristics, constraints, and tradeoffs
- Radiometric and geometric calibration, plus multi-sensor alignment
- Classical and learning-based detection methods
- Track management, data association, and sensor fusion for tracking
- Evidence-oriented review, validation, and field testing practices
The later chapters connect these foundations to operational use. They explain how to fuse EO and IR data at the image, feature, and decision levels, how to maintain tracks through occlusion or sensor loss, and how to support human review with trustworthy evidence packages. The closing material ties everything together with integration, verification, robustness checks, and field trial reporting.
Well suited for engineers, integrators, analysts, and technically minded practitioners who need a clear, structured reference for surveillance systems that must perform in real-world conditions. The result is a useful handbook for moving from concepts to dependable system deployment.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
