Project Status Update • Project Name Aerial Imaging System • Project Number P10661 • Project Family Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems • Track Printing and Imaging • Start Term 2010-1 planned academic quarter for MSD1 • End Term 2010-2 planned academic quarter for MSD2 • Faculty Guide Dr. Pratapa Reddy, Professor in Computer Engineering • Tech Support Mike Walsh • Primary Customer Dr. Carl Salvaggio, College of Imaging Science
Mission Statement The overall product is a visible spectrum imaging system for the use with an unmanned aerial vehicle. The specific task under development is an image calibration system and procedure to be used by researchers in the College of Imaging Science, to effectively and efficiently collect aerial data. • Key Business Goals: • This product is to replace existing data collection methods. • To give the customer the ability to launch and collect data on-demand and to choose the usage based on specific situations. • Reduce the cost associated with current collection processes. • Pre-processing of images will eliminate the need for expensive and timely post-processing in a lab.
Markets/Stakeholders Primary Customer: The primary market for this product is the RIT College of Imaging Science. Secondary Markets: Secondary markets for this imaging system may include emergency response agencies where the product could be applied for search & rescue or in firefighting. Law enforcement agencies could use this product for drug eradication. • Stakeholders: • R09560 - Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems • College of Imaging Arts and Sciences • Kate Gleason College of Engineering • Law Enforcement Agencies • Fire Departments • Public Safety
Current State of Design Camera Controls and Power Vibration Isolation System Images from P09561 Design Review Presentation
Customer Interview • Dr. Carl Salvaggio - Primary Customer • Imaging scientists are always starved for data • Current data collection systems use manned aircraft which are very expensive and logistically inconvenient • System needs to be robust enough to accompany different spectral imaging devices • Type of image depends on the mission • System needs to be small and light enough to be carried by RIT UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) • Calibration can allow for imaging scientists to measure energy directly from an image to interpret data immediately • On-board calibration will ultimately increase data quality and decrease cost associated with the equipment
