Automatic video tracker

GE Intelligent Platforms’ ADEPT3000 is a miniature, rugged automatic video tracker which can be 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 device measures 34 x 24 mm, weighs around 6 g and consumes just 1 W so that 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.

Whether integrated in air-to-ground, ground-to-ground, ground-to-air or naval electro-optical systems, the algorithms at the heart of the ADEPT3000 provide effective detection and tracking. Improved ability to distinguish between an object and the background is accomplished through the use of innovative technologies such as an advanced 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. The ADEPT3000 natively 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.

The resulting signal is passed to sophisticated algorithms for track path analysis, optimised for specific operational scenarios. The device’s advanced graphical overlays take advantage of industry standard, off-the-shelf PC development tools to reduce the learning curve and maximise productivity. Powerful colour graphics rendering and compositing hardware support flexible and clear outputs.
