Making night-vision images as clear as day

New Scientist Technology - Night-vision camera turns night into day:
"A REVOLUTIONARY night-vision system developed for the Dutch military makes night-time video images look as clear and colourful as those shot in broad daylight."

News from the Netherlands of a radical improvement in the functionality of night-vision optics. By means of computer enhancement based on daylight photography of similar scenes, infra-red and light intensification night-vision devices can now produce images in full color rather than shades of grey or green. The developers have shown that this can improve the ability of users to correctly identify what they see and reduce the fatigue of longterm use.

I have some familiarity with this technology having briefly worked for the Defense Contract Administration Service nearly 30 years ago doing testing of night-vision scopes at the ITT Electro-Optical Products plant in Hollins, VA. The improvement this Dutch innovation represents is truly amazing.
