GigE Advanced Imaging Sensor

The Wide-Field Dynamic Range (WFDR) camera is a high-sensitivity, wide-field-of-regard sensor of importance to future military surveillance and survivability systems. It is intended to be used in harsh, noisy military platforms with multiple camera streams simultaneously gathered. By developing a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) video transport solution for multiple cameras with low latency and high data reliability, a flexible processing architecture will be developed that allows optimization of processor throughput for real-time imaging in defense applications.
