Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 25, 2007

The Vilga video tracker offers video tracking from multiple video sources installed in the optical payload.

Cedip Infrared Systems has released Vilga - an advanced video tracking and image processing package for applications including maritime and aerial surveillance, missile evaluation and trajectory measurements.

Incorporating the latest image processing algorithms embedded in a compact, rugged package, the Vilga video tracker offers video tracking from multiple video sources installed in the optical payload.

Easily adapted to meet a wide range of applications the Vilga video tracker delivers top performance as it provides electronic stablisation of images from external sensors.

Vilga operates under a robust real-time operating system (RTOS) with minimum latency time for critical tasks.

Targets are highlighted and overlaid on screen during tracking.

The user can select a given target amongst several proposed by the tracker.

Selecting and engaging a target in tracking mode is accomplished using a hand grip controller.

Once engaged the video tracker will drive the turret to the target.

The Vilga card offers a Picture-in-Picture mode (PIP) where two sensors can be displayed on a single display.

The user can select which sensor to display as full screen when operating the PIP mode.

The PIP mode feature is particularly useful when using a spotter scope in combination with a TV zoom camera.
