Abstract:
1. A data conversion apparatus for converting infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data with a non-transitory electronic-processor-readable medium executing a sensor data conversion computer program, comprising: an electronic processor configured to convert sensor data and output said converted sensor data in a tangible medium; an infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program operatively associated with said electronic processor, said infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program using a graphical user interface to display on a visual display device, wherein said visual display device operatively associated with said electronic processor; a user-selection device operatively associated with said visual display device; at least one sensor standard definition file consistent with at least one sensor standard, said at least one standard definition file configured for input to said infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program, wherein said at least one sensor standard definition file is a programmable external file defining specifics of said at least one sensor standard, wherein said specifics define a plurality of elements used to communicate sensor data in said infrared, radar, and photographic data conversion computer program, wherein said at least one sensor standard definition file is editable and extendable to support changes in said at least one sensor standard: at least one sensor standard rules file consistent with said at least one sensor standard, said at least one sensor standard rules file operatively associated with said infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program; at least one sensor external standard file consistent with said at least one sensor standard, said at least one sensor external standard file operatively associated with said infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program; and at least one sensor external data file consistent with said at least one sensor standard, said at least one sensor external data file operatively associated with said infrared, radar, and photographic sensor data conversion computer program.
