Abstract

Night-vision technology is used to extend human activities beyond the limits of natural visual ability. For example, it is widely used in military and civilian fields for observation, monitoring and low-light detection. Night-vision research includes low-level-light (LLL) vision, infrared thermal imaging, ultraviolet imaging and active near-infrared systems.
