P09651 – Visible Spectrum Imaging System Lead: Dave Lewis Brian Russell AditiKhare
Project Status • Project Family • R09560 - Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems • Start Term • 2008-2 • End Term • 2008-3 • Faculty Guide • Dr. Edward Hensel • Primary Customer/Faculty Consultant • Dr. Carl Salvaggio • Other Stakeholders • R09230: Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Imaging Systems
Mission Statement • Create a visible spectrum imaging system with vibration damping and a microcontroller that can be mounted on a ground or air based vehicle and interfaced with the given vehicle’s communication systems.
Further Definition • The camera will be a commercial off-the-shelf digital camera with a resolution between 5 and 11 megapixels. • The primary target vehicle for the system is the UAV-Airframe B (project P09232) in accordance with the payload constraints designated by the UAV Aircraft Payload Interface group (project P09235).
