GimbalCAM-Academic™

The GimbalCAM-Academic™ system have been designed responding to our customers need, whom are companies seeking for Low SWaP-C (Low Size, Weight and Power) technology.

 

The GimbalCAM-Academic is a test bench designed to teach and learn the basic strategies about gyro-stabilized dynamics, control and computer vision. It provides standard RS-232 communication protocol and analog video output. The equipment is plug and play and can be programmed and controlled with Matlab, Labview or like, and evaluating the control dynamic behavior in real time. We provide three practical experiences and user guide to begin exploring this technique. 

 

Model

GC-ACADEMIC

Experiments

  1. Pan, Tilt and Zoom Control, as surveillance cameras does.
  2. Two axis (Pan/Tilt) gyro-stabilization control.
  3. Vision-based object tracking (A.I.).

General features

  • Standard version includes EO camera with 25x optical zoom.
  • An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
  • Encoders for trigger each axis movements.
