This product was developed from the technologies of the following awarded US Patents: 6,480,789; 6,489,922; 6,665,438; 6,677,941; 6,766,270; 6,940,999 and 7,376,262
This is a product derived from the AGNC product line of the Universal Navigation and Control Unit™ which provides a fast, high development level computing platform with a 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/LIDAR, global positioning system/inertial measurement unit, and integrates these data sources to get reliable and Real Time Object Position and 3D Terrain Mapping. An object positioning and data integrating system optionally comprises EO sensors, stereo cameras, a MEMS IMU, GPS receiver, laser ranger/LIDAR, 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.
