GE Intelligent Platforms rugged automatic video tracker

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.
