| This
is a new product derived from the AGNC product line of the Universal
Navigation and Control Unit™ which provides a fast, high development
level computing platform with flexible interface. It is designed
to provide outstanding performance of sensor data filtering and
image processing. The UNCUEO solves the problems encountered in
machine vision, which optionally employs electro-optical (EO) image
sensors enhanced with integrated laser ranger, global positioning
system/inertial measurement unit, and integrates these data to get
reliable and real time object position. An object positioning and
data integrating system optionally comprises EO sensors, stereo
cameras, a MEMS IMU, GPS receiver, laser ranger, preprocessing module,
segmentation module, detection module, recognition module, 3D positioning
module and tracking module. Autonomous, reliable and real time object
positioning and tracking can be achieved. The UNCUEO can be used
to provide location measurements of an object from a sequence of
images and the robust filter is used to accurately estimate position
and velocity of the object. It finds wide applications in many fields,
such as:
• Autonomous Robotic Vehicle/UAV.
• Digital Image Processing (DIP) for object tracking and pointing.
• Vehicle/spacecraft guidance, navigation and control.
• Formation flying Control.
• Filtering or signal processing applications. The UNCUEO
is ideal for data filtering or pre-filtering applications.
• Machine vision.
