FD-1665 Embedded PC/104 Camera

FluxData’s latest product is a integrated imaging system, combining the optical subassembly utilized in the FD-1665 with a PC/104 computer. The camera can be specified as in the past with custom filters as well as selecting from a range of sensor options. The addition of an embedded computer creates a dynamic, flexible, and powerful multispectral system to solve problems across many application areas.

Applications

The FD-1665 PC/104 is still useful in the application areas listed for the original FD-1665, but the computer adds a new dimension to the solution. Problems such as target detection whether it’s a defense-related or machine vision can be accelerated as processing can now be on-board the system itself. This also reduces the amount data that would need to be streamed to a central location.

An added value of deploying a number these systems is that they include a powerful computer. These systems can be used in peer-to-peer configurations where they interact directly with the other systems and assets being used to solve a common problem whether it is target detection, surveillance or something else.

Another possible application is to pair systems, where one has a wide field of view to detect targets, and the other is a high resolution/zoom system. There are many possible applications like this where the cameras interact with and que each other, or share resources to process common data.
