The Hawk-Eye Technology
Agrarius LLC developed, owns, and operates the Hawk-Eye™ Remote Sensing System pictured in Figure 1. The Hawk-Eye™ System is a unique low level/aerial imaging system that supports the operations of the two operational divisions, View-It, Thermo-VuTM, and Hawk’s-VuTM; and the research and development activities which lead to new techniques and the integration of new sensors and processing algorithms for product development.
The Hawk-Eye™ Remote Sensing System consists of:
o Portable Camera Module consists of remotely controlled cameras: § The IR video camera is an uncalibrated bolometer, 8 to 14 micron, imaging at 28 frames/second, 240 X 180 pixels. Temperature correlations are accomplished with a thermal IR gun. § The visual camera is a Cannon SX110 IS color 400 – 1000 nanometer, 10mega pixel imager. The Portable Camera Module is scheduled to undergo a major upgrade. In December 2009, Agrarius will upgrade the IR camera to a FLIR A320, calibrated bolometer, 8 – 14 micron, 320 X 240 pixel video camera. o Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Cameras are a single block controlled in the UAV System Segment: § The IR video camera is an uncalibrated micro-bolometer, 8 to 14 micron, imaging at 28 frames/second, 240 X 180 pixels. § The visual video camera is a color CCD camera, 400 – 1000 nanometer, imaging at 30 frames/second, 320 X 240 pixels.
