IMAGO-S Video Tracker

Performance Specification

IMAGO-S Video Tracker

The IMAGO-S (standalone) is a software-based tracker that can be installed in most PCs
and is designed to use commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. It comes on an installation CD
and includes a video acquisition system.

If the customer requires additional functionality, they can upgrade the IMAGO-S from a
list of desired options or contact IMAGO regarding one of our other higher performing
tracking systems.

IMAGO-S PERFORMANCE

Video Tracking Pan/Tilt Unit Interface (RS232/RS422/TCPIP)


• IMAGO’s proprietary algorithm OR The IMAGO-S generates a bore sight offset output that be
• Edge/Centroid/Correlation algorithms integrated by the customer to use their own pan/tilt.

Accuracy The IMAGO-S is also available with an interface to IMAGO’s


• The target off-boresight angle for a point target can be Standard (75 lb payload) and Compact (35 lb payload)
measured to 1/500 of the field of view. pan/tilts. Using an IMAGO supplied pan tilt, the IMAGO-S
• The minimum target size is 1% of FOV linear dimension. controller can reliably track targets with rates up to 25
• The minimum target contrast is 12 levels of grey deg/sec. Higher performance pan/tilt controllers are also
available
Target Acquisition
• Joystick controlled acquisition Output Log Files
• Designation in the centre 25% FOV The IMAGO-S outputs a time stamped log file of target
• Sit-and-wait mode for the centre 25% FOV azimuth/elevation. The log file is in ASCII format and can be
easily loaded into Excel, MatLab, Simulink and any other data
Automatic Coast Capability processing application.
• If the target is temporarily obscured our target state
estimation system will coast and reacquire the target Set Up and Calibration and Built in Tests
when it reappears. The IMAGO-S includes set up and calibration software to
initialize the system.
Video Input – (2 Channel)
• Channel 1 - target acquisition, normally with a wider Available functions include:

and works with IR and daylight cameras. Supported • Hardware Test Functions: video, joystick, pan tilt
Video standards: RS 170, CCIR, IEEE 1394.
User Interface

IMAGO-S to work with any lens on a high-resolution video monitor along with the other user
displays and controls.
Computer Requirements

The IMAGO-S will run on most PCs with at least one serial port, one IEEE1394 (firewire)
port and an Intel P4 - 2.8 GHz hyper-threaded CPU. A mobile version is also available.

Options
• Switch on the fly-tracking
• Track offsets
• Additional Video Tracking Algorithms that incorporate colour, motion analysis, and more complex pattern matching
• High performance controller to track more dynamic targets at higher rates
• Integration of 3rd party pan/tilts or gimbals
• Different coast models, based on target dynamics and pan/tilt motion
• Full field of view target acquisition
• Full field of view sit-and-wait motion analysis
• Cueing from/to radar, on-target sensors, etc.

Designed to run with commercial off-the-shelf-hardware, the Imago-S serves as a


powerful, fully upgradeable base for your video tracking needs.
