E-O Imaging - Tracking Systems, Video Trackers and Imaging Products

Electro-Optical Imaging is a recognized leader in the design, development and manufacture of high-performance video trackers and tracking systems, with a legacy of over 35 years of providing cutting-edge quality products and systems. From board-level automatic video tracker products to fully integrated turnkey systems, quality products and customer support are our highest priorities.

The company offers a diverse line of off-the-shelf video tracker products easily adapted to the most complex and demanding test range, tactical and surveillance applications.

AUTOMATIC VIDEO TRACKERS

Trackers are available for VMEbus, PCI and Compact PCI platforms and interface with a wide variety of analog and digital sensors. Video formats include RS-170, NTSC, RS-343, PAL, CCIR and the latest digital sensor technology including camera link (basic, medium and full), high-definition (HD-SDI) 720px, 720i, 1080px and non-standard sensor formats.

E-O Imaging's trackers incorporate an open architecture, enabling customer specialized algorithms and functions to be easily incorporated into the tracker's FPGA, where they are performed in real-time without any additional external hardware.

In addition to its board level products, E-O Imaging offers fully integrated turnkey systems to meet the diverse requirements encountered in weapons system evaluation, surveillance and related applications. In support of these system-level products, the company has senior engineers experienced in:

• Time, Space and Position Information (TSPI) systems (optical / video and radar-based computer control / processing systems for orbital, ballistic re-entry, and in-air targets TSPI derivation)
• Command, control and communications: communications systems for TSPI and range parametric information dissemination and parametric / graphic processing, and display systems for command / control
• Data-acquisition, mensuration systems: systems for collection of parametric and discrete real-time data, with a wide array of requirements in terms of capacity, performance, capabilities, accuracy, pre / post-calibration and processing / reduction requirements

In addressing the unique requirements of each customer, E-O Imaging uses a systems solution approach for implementation. We:

• Communicate with the customer and understand their requirements
• Work in partnership with the customer to meet technical, cost, and schedule requirements
• Develop and recommend potential solutions through an iterative process of communication with the customer
• Customize the solution for the customer based on their requirements
• Develop the whole solution, including management and support roles
• Provide responsive support to the customer

SYSTEM-LEVEL APPLICATION CONTROLLERS

In the majority of system-level applications, E-O Imaging's video tracker products form the core element of the system. In addition to performing basic tracking functions, the trackers can operate as the system controller, implementing functions such as camera / lens control, mount control data-logging and system diagnostics.

EDGE / CENTROID / CORRELATION VIDEO TRACKERS

The Series 6000 family of video trackers is currently comprised of the following products:

• Model 6005 / 6006 VMEbus edge / centroid / correlation tracker
• Model 6007 / 6008 PCI edge / centroid / correlation tracker
• Model 6010 / 6011 cPCI edge / centroid / correlation tracker
