Dutch military develop colorful night-vision

A new night-vision system developed for the Dutch military may signal the end of those grainy green and grey images we've all come to know.  The new system, created by the TNO research lab, works by drawing colors from similar scenes in the system's memory then mapping them onto the night-vision images (seen in the three-step process above),
resulting in a more natural looking image.  The researchers say the system will improve soldier's reaction times and reduce fatigue that comes from staring at traditional night-vision images.  Military for now, but we're sure we'll see plenty of other uses for the system sooner or later.
