chip windows. Snapshot-mode integration, multi-resolution via pixel averaging, and multiple readout ports. The on-chip windows can be reconfigured on a frame-by-frame basis to have arbitrary position, size, resolution and overlap.
Developed a digital camera the incorporates the aforementioned imager and features a fast Ethernet data link for sensor configuration commands and return video, TCP/CP, embedded sensor controller, and a microprocessor.
Created a demonstration system on a laptop PC running a Windows NT graphical user interface.
Currently developing a second-generation 800x600 sensor that will have on-chip analog-to-digital converters in addition to the previous generation’s features. Engineering studies are also commencing to implement DRV technology on low light level and shortwave IR (SWIR) sensors
COMMERCIALIZATION
Currently working with industry partners to develop field-worthy prototype systems by 2001, and plan to begin high-volume
sensor and camera board production by 2004.
Several patents are pending on DRV technology, Comptek Amherst is establishing an intellectual property core to make DRV available for licensing by interested parties

GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS
NASA - Vision system for extravehicular helper/retriever robot and other spaceborne imaging applications
Air Force - Prototype DRV system is in use and a second-generation system will be delivered in 2001
US Navy - Surveillance and target identification from unmanned vehicles is a top concern. Currently the
Navy is funding an infrared DRV preliminary system design.
Year Phase II, NAS1-NASA ContactCompany Contact : Chris Kramer (716)631-0088 [email protected] Research Center
Three-Window DRV Imagery: Dual Target Tracking plus Full Field-of-View Surveillance
Comptek Amherst Systems has developed inexpensive, low-power, reconfigurable sensors that reduce video bandwidth in real-time surveillance, precision strike, and other tactical imaging applications.
