SECurus - Electro Optical Sensor System
From Sensors and Systems
The SECurus system is a unique electro-optical multi mission decision support system, that combines advanced stabilized long range and highly sensitive IR and digital video cameras with a unique electronic chart system (ECS)decision support software. The ECS touch screen overlays information from several sources and offers a set of powerful tools to the operator for monitoring, detection, decision support and documentation.
Products Details
The long range infrared camera used in the SECurus system is a highly sensitive camera based on an actively cooled Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) detector with 640 X 512 pixels resolution in 25 pictures per second. The sensor has a typical sensitivity of 18mK which is near the best sensitivity available in the market. This sensitivity is important for long range day and night vision, seeing through smoke and for measuring of relative oil thickness. The IR camera has a powerful zoom lens assembly giving a field of view variation from 21.7 degrees to 1.7 degrees. In addition, there is a 4X digital zoom function. This gives the camera excellent close up capability combined with the powerful zoom that allows detection and identification of small targets at a long distance.
For vessel mounted application, the SECurus combines motion and position information from the navigation instrumentation on the vessel with its internal orientation sensors to determine the exact position and direction of the cameras in real time. This input allows the stabilization algorithms to ensure that the camera platform is stabilized in 3 dimensions. The result is a stable and readable pictures in all sea conditions. Due to this technology, the system knows the exact geographic position of every pixel in the pictures from both cameras and can project the image onto the map for easy navigation / or object recovery.
