GE Intelligent Platforms applied image processing
The key to an image processing solution is what you can’t see. The peace of mind and security you gain from working with a proven supplier is invaluable. Applied Image Processing Image processing solutions from GE Intelligent Platforms are deployed in a wide range of military and paramilitary systems worldwide, including UAVs, air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ground-toground, naval tracking, remote control gun platforms and range instrumentation.
Our experience includes the full range of applications. Whether you have a ground, sea, or air application (or a combination), we have the kind of experience you need. Developing and deploying an advanced electro optical system can be a difficult process. So it’s comforting to know that you can turn to us with the assurance that we can provide cutting-edge image processing, plus the domain expertise to support the development of your system through deployment and throughout its life.
Data Extraction – Target Detection and Tracking. The detection and tracking of multiple small targets in high clutter environments. Modern warfare on land, sea and in the air demands the capability to detect, classify and engage threats at extended ranges. Electro optical systems make a significant contribution to meeting this demand, and image processing provides a major performance-enhancing element.
Our video tracker hardware and proven algorithms are readily adaptable to your application. Image Enhancement Algorithms The source video is fed to a pre-processor which uses verified mathematical algorithms to accomplish image enhancement, improve target contrast and suppress clutter, providing a more accurate separation of the target from ‘noise’ in the scene and more robust target acquisition and tracking. A range of different pre-processors are included as standard.
Visualization Image Stabilization. Enhancing operational performance and reducing fatigue by providing a clear, stable image. Real-Time Image Stabilization Many surveillance and targeting systems, particularly those with narrow fields of view, suffer from vibrations that can lead to unstable imagery being presented to the operator. These unwanted camera movements can be a huge obstacle to interpreting the video image, resulting in a significant detrimental effect on operator efficiency.
Visualization Image Fusion. Improving tactical understanding by fusing multiple images into a single intelligent picture. Image Fusion The number of sensors on military vehicles is increasing rapidly, leading to a requirement for intelligent ways to present information to the operator without information overload, while reducing the power consumption, weight and size of systems.
Visualization Situational Awareness. Making a significant contribution to crew safety by providing total awareness of the local situation. Situational Awareness Systems The Challenge Surveillance of large areas has historically been achieved by using an array of sensors connected to a bank of monitors, with separate or multiplexed displays for each video stream.
Research and Development. To keep you on the leading edge, we continuously explore new image processing technology. For over two decades, our rolling program of research and development has delivered innovative technology in video tracking and image processing for customers around the globe. Our goal is to build on this heritage, so that you stay at the forefront of video image processing technology in the future.
Image processing solutions optimized for SWaP. GE Intelligent Platforms COTS-based image processing solutions provide high performance while requiring the minimum space, weight and power. The SWaP optimized hardware design can be easily reconfigured to meet restricted space applications such as within armored vehicles. Fusion 6 Combine inputs from several imager types to create a single, superior image. Stabilization 6 Clear, stable images are always less confusing and more useful to the operator.
Situational Awareness 6 The IPS5000 provides local situational awareness by merging video from multiple cameras into a real-time, interactive, 360º panoramic view. Detection 6 The system identifies objects within the video image which meet your target criteria. Tracking 6 Choose from an array of tracking capabilities, based on your application needs.
