The Video Imaging System for Detection, Tracking, and Assessment (VISDTA) is an automatic scanning surveillance sensor with built-in charge detection and video motion detection features. Several of these thermal imager-based system have been deployed worldwide for demonstration, evaluation, and improvement of nuclear facilities site security. Recent modifications have improved environmental and mechanical ruggedness and detection probability. In addition, a VISDTA expansion is described that would convert may fixed-view cameras into change-detection sensors and/or video motion detection (VMD) devices. This modification proposed easy addition of VMD capability to many existing installations. In this paper a summary is included of the recent efforts to transfer VISDTA technology to industry.
