The details of the fabrication and results of laboratory testing of the Ultra High Resolution Framing Camera containing on-chip forward image motion compensation were presented to the SPIE at Airborne Reconnaissance XXII in 1998. Three airborne flight tests of the Camera system have since been conducted with excellent results. This paper summarizes predicted performance for the Camera and presents some of the flight test imagery and data. Airborne reconnaissance missions require sensors with both high resolution and large fields of view. This is driven by the requirement to image targets such as mobile missile launchers which require large fields of view to find, and when partially obscured in defilade require high resolution to identify. As reconnaissance cameras have begun to move away from film and toward the use of electro-optical detector arrays there has been a constant strain on the ability of detector manufacturers to build arrays of sufficient size and resolution to replace film.
Products & Services
Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras contain light-sensitive silicon chips that detect electrons excited by incoming light. They also contain micro circuitry that transfers a detected signal along a row of discrete picture elements or pixels, scanning the image very rapidly. CCD cameras use two-dimensional CCD arrays with many thousand of pixels.
High speed cameras are designed for rapid image acquisition for scientific or industrial analysis of rapidly changing or moving processes.
Thin film materials are high purity materials and chemicals such as precursor gases, sputtering targets or evaporation filaments used to form or modify thin film deposits and substrates.
Image scanners are devices that scan two-dimensional (2D) objects and convert them into digital images.
Video cameras take continuous pictures and generate signals for display or recording. They capture images by breaking them down into a series of lines. This search form does not include consumer devices such as camcorders.
