Hardware-software System for Exploring the Possibility of Application of CCD Image Sensors as Part of Gated-Viewing Systems

Аннотация

This paper presents the results of the development and testing of a system for studying the operating modes of CCD sensors. The purpose of the study is to verify the performance of these sensors as part of a gated-viewing system without using an image intensifier or another external fast shutter. The system can be used to control a commercial CCD sensor in an undocumented way using signals of arbitrary shape, synchronize its operation with a laser emitter, receive and digitally process an image, and transfer it to external devices. Experiments with various CCD sensors have shown that a gated-viewing surveillance system can be developed based on an interline transfer CCD sensor without an image intensifier and can be used in applications.
