GE Intelligent Platforms has released its rugged automatic video tracker.
Easily integrated using standard or custom format carrier cards, it has been optimised to perform real-time detection and tracking across the full range of military and aerospace electro-optical system applications.
Designed for the detection and surveillance of a moving object, the ADEPT3000 is small (34 x 24 mm), lightweight (around 6 g) and consumes less than 1 W. It can be deployed in highly confined spaces such as small unmanned aerial vehicles or man-portable devices, or simply integrated directly into a gimbal.
The improved algorithms provide detection and tracking. Improved ability to distinguish between an object and the background is accomplished through the use of a signature-based pre-processor for rejecting clutter and an automatic tracking engine.
Determining and tracking an object at longer ranges is aided by a number of features that include improved optics, precision platform dynamics and higher resolution sensors.
It supports standard definition analog video, and once a target has been acquired, advanced pre-processors discriminate it from heavy clutter, mist, dust and other atmospheric challenges.
