applied image
processing

The key to an image processing
solution is what you can’t see.

The peace of mind and security you gain from
working with a proven supplier is invaluable.

Image processing solutions from
GE Intelligent Platforms are deployed in
a wide range of military and paramili­tary systems worldwide, including UAVs,
air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ground-to­ground, naval tracking, remote control gun
platforms and range instrumentation.

Our rolling program of research and
development ensures that your image
processing solutions remain at the forefront
of the technology. Whether it is advanced
algorithms to provide automated refueling
of unmanned aerial vehicles, ultra minia­ture electronics to enable implementation
in infantry weapon sights, or increased
processing power to handle high resolution
sensors, our research ensures the solution
is available to meet the challenge.

We are world leaders in the design and
manufacture of rugged, real-time image
processing subsystems, and one of the
leading independent suppliers of ‘commer­cial-off-the-shelf’ video tracking and image
processing systems to the global defense,
aerospace and security market.

The company is approved to ISO 9001:
2000 and AS/EN 9100 for design and
manufacture. The company is committed
to long-term support of its customers,
many programs running for up to 20 years,
and a full Product Lifecycle Management
package is available.

Our experience includes
the full range of applications.

Whether you have a ground, sea, or air application (or a
combination), we have the kind of experience you need.

Developing and deploying an advanced
electro optical system can be a difficult pro­cess. So it’s comforting to know that you can
turn to us with the assurance that we can
provide cutting-edge image processing, plus
the domain expertise to support the devel­opment of your system through deployment
and throughout its life. Whether you require
an individual board or a fully integrated sys­tem, we have untold hours of engineering
experience designing, testing and validating
rugged image processing solutions.

For over two decades, GE Intelligent
Platforms has developed a wide range of
real-time video image processing solu­tions to automatically extract the maxi­mum amount of useful information from
raw video data and present it to users in
an easily digestible form so that system
integrators can achieve superior electro
optical system performance.

Each of these solutions is designed to
provide optimum performance in com­pact, low power, environmentally-proven
hardware packages. Most of our image
processing solutions use standard ‘off-the­shelf’ products that meet interface and
performance requirements without the
need for major modification.

Image processing can be grouped into
two areas ‘Data Extraction’, gathering
intelligence from the video image and
‘Visualization’, processing the video image
for easier understanding by the operator.

Data Extraction – Target
Detection and Tracking.

The detection and tracking of multiple small
targets in high clutter environments.

Modern warfare on land, sea and in the air
demands the capability to detect, classify
and engage threats at extended ranges.
Electro optical systems make a significant
contribution to meeting this demand,
and image processing provides a major
performance-enhancing element.

Whether it is to increase system accuracy
and reduce operator workload for manned
systems, or facilitate autonomous opera­tion of unmanned vehicles, GE Intelligent
Platforms can provide an effective image
processing solution.

The GE Intelligent Platforms ADEPT fam­ily of image processing modules has been
optimized to perform real-time target
detection and tracking across the full range
of military electro optical system applica­tions. Whether integrated in air-to-ground,
ground-to-ground, ground-to-air or naval
electro optical systems, the algorithms at
the heart of the ADEPT family provide effec­tive detection and tracking against the full
spectrum of targets.

Automatic video tracking involves almost
all image processing functionalities: from
image enhancement and target detection/
acquisition, to target tracking and system
support functions.
