Prototype. An integrated sensor suite and local data fusion algorithms are being designed as the Volume Sensor Detection Suite (VSDS). As an example of potential inter-component data fusion for the VSDS, the Long Wavelength Video Detection (LWVD) Component Luminosity was investigated as a substitute for the near-infrared (NIR) sensor element in the Spectral-Based Volume Sensor (SBVS) component of the VSDS. The LWVD Luminosity data stream can be used to produce an effective 3-component SBVS configuration for the VSDS with only the UV and IR sensor elements from the SBVS Component Prototype. The current recommendation for the SBVS configuration of the VSDS is a UV/IR, an NIR/UV/IR, or an LWVD/UV/IR configuration, depending on the VSDS data fusion component's tolerance for increased probability of false alarm (Pfa) with increased probability of detection (Pd) in different event categories and on the specific intended applications.
