3 Day Open Conference

Easy integration of digital high speed cameras for airborne applications
Tuesday 18th November 2008
11.00 - 11.20
Auditorium 1

Not just in airborne applications, film cameras need to be replaced now due to a lack of film supply plus the need for immediate availability of image data. Digital high-speed cameras with a built-in PowerPC like the AOS X-EMA can be configured so they behave similar to film cameras resulting in minimal modifications on the airplane as well as during the test procedure. Existing hand-shake routines can be duplicated by a number of programmable status lines. The airborne applications of high-speed cameras provide sensitive and often non-repeatable images; protecting valuable image data is a key factor. Compact Flash data interfaces allow copying the image sequences automatically to non-volatile memory cards possibly when the airplane returns from its mission to the home base. By building-in a NiMH Battery to the camera, the data can even be secured if the airplane power is turned-off in an emergency.
