Abstract

An expendable, autonomous vehicle by definition and implication will require small, low-cost sensors for observation of the outside world and interface to smart, decision-making avionics. This paper describes results of several interrelated CCD camera projects directed toward achieving such an integrated sensor package. A shuttered high resolution CCD detector combined with a CCD analog frame store memory is described. This system results in a full resolution frame rate reduced, deinterlaced image. This image data is suitable for transform or differential pulse code data compression as well as various other 3 X 3 element operators directed at extracting image intelligence for on-board decision-making.
