Opto-Silicon-Integrated System for High-Resolution Real-Time Image Quality Analysis

There is a continuing need for high frame rate cameras with a large number of pixels in the image. These are desirable for targeting on high-speed aircraft, autonomous systems, smart missiles and a variety of high-speed vehicle applications and testingapplications. The proposed High Speed Vision System (HSVS) is a breakthrough FPA-based technology for these applications; it combines very-high-speed data output from the focal plane and very powerful image processing, outputting only the objects andnumbers of interest. HSVS has very high commercial potential in the machine-vision field. High-speed machine vision, orders-of-magnitude faster than current systems, at low cost, and with minimum volume and weight penalties, is clearly a quantum leapforward. HSVS will make a whole new generation of high-speed manufacturing machines possible.
