Research in 4D Perception

4D Perception Lab

The 4D Perception Lab is a research unit within the Royal Military Academy (RMA) of Belgium. The lab focuses on the research and development of spatial perception systems with multi- and hyperspectral sensing capabilities. The unit’s goal is to make sense of our surroundings through geometric (spatial) and chemical (spectral) measurements. The current main focus is on portable, passive systems that can be used on the modern battlefield. An important application of our work is the detection of land and sea mines, UXO and IED.

Feel free to have a look at our current research projects or contact us us for additional information.
