The new LCD display panel uses a high-powered FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to execute image enhancement algorithms in real time for live video surveillance feeds, such as those applicable to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The GCS display applies image enhancement and edge detection algorithms to incoming video streams without adding latency. A sophisticated image enhancement algorithm brings out the detail from images degraded by poor visibility or atmospheric interference. The edge detection algorithm identifies anomalous shapes and highlights details for surveillance and bomb damage assessment (BDA). Operators can turn image functions on or off with the click of a button. GCS Displays with RTEV add distinct benefits to ground stations:
- Clarifies images with contrast enhancement that continuously adapts to changing brightness and contrast
- Brightens or darkens for Dusk and Dawn viewing
- Secondary feed for PIP (Picture In Picture) insert of RGB or NTSC can be scaled, positioned, and alpha blended into primary image. Option available for Chroma-keying
- Dehazes images for fog and sand storm environments
- Functions can be controlled through front panel or remotely
