Embedded space camera with computer-vision capability
G-THEIA1+ is the first GMV’s embedded space camera including computer-vision capability. It is a high-performance on-board camera, with rad-hard solution, constrained volume, mass, and power. This cost-affordable camera solution offers in-flight reconfiguration of programmable HW to use the camera in combination with different vision-based applications. It also includes nominal and redundant space-wire connections with the possibility of connecting a second instrument by means of a dedicated interface. Its mechanical design offers the possibility of baffle mounting and it is thermally independent from the spacecraft/satellite.
Highlights
Embedded camera including edge co-processor in a box. High performance edge computing thanks to fast rad-hard FPGA HW-acceleration of image processing implementations on-board.
Secondary camera head connection to allow edge computing processing of two different camera images.
It is thermally independent and includes the possibility of baffle mounting by the enclosure design. It also includes capabilities to set the pointing after mounting on the S/C on one axis and leaving connector on one only side in the rear part.
It is a smart sensor conceived as a modular design composed of four boards: sensor board, camera & interfaces controller, computer-vision accelerator co-processor and power distribution board. It includes camera enclosure, thermal dissipation, baffle and baseplate mounting for different tilting configuration.
- Real-time imaging solution for space.
- Data processor and camera embedded solution in one.
- Prototype for space-based surveillance system also used for vision-based navigation.
- Includes possibility for a secondary camera, allows missions requiring different distance detection of targets (different FOVs).
- Each optic allows 2 FOVs applying cropping and/or binning techniques.
- TRL6.
