Emerging Capabilities for Detection and Characterization of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)

Here we describe the status for the detection and characterization of Near- Earth Objects (NEO) with current and future observatories. A summary of the capabilities, limitations, and obtainable NEO parameters is provided.
