+ High Performance Video Tracking and Image Processing
Eastrade has announced QRE - an advanced video tracking and image processing package for applications including maritime and aerial surveillance and trajectory measurements. Incorporating the latest image processing algorithms embedded in a compact ruggedized package the QRE video tracker offers video tracking from multiple video sources installed in the optical payload. Easily adapted to meet a wide range of applications the QRE video tracker delivers top performance as it provides electronic stabilization of images from external sensors. QRE operates under a robust real time operating system (RTOS) with minimum latency time for critical tasks.
Eastrade Infrared Systems develops designs, manufactures and markets high performance infrared cameras, systems and OEM modules for industrial, research, surveillance and security organizations. Thanks to a unique combination of technological know-how in electronics, optics, precision mechanics and software, Eastrade teams of engineers and highly qualified technicians, backed by a world network of informed distributors, support a growing customer base in more than 50 countries.
For further information relating to the QRE video tracking and image processing package please contact Eastrade Infrared Systems.

+ LIDAR
Eastrade has pioneered and extended the range and capability of LIDAR technology. This system has been designed to offer performance far beyond any other airborne LIDAR system operating today and provides exciting technology applications for terrain mapping and remote sensing.
LIDAR is the technology of using pulses of laser light striking the surfaces of the earth and measuring the time of pulse return. The LIDAR laser scanner is mounted photogrammetrically in the bottom of an airplane (similar to an aerial camera) along with an Inertial Measuring Unit and Airborne GPS. Robust data storage is required to process the return time for each pulse returned back to the sensor and calculate the variable distances from the sensor, or changes in terrain/land cover surfaces. As with any photogrammetric GPS activity, the LIDAR system requires a surveyed ground-base location to be established in the project area. LIDAR scanning can occur day or night, as long as clear flying conditions are present.
In addition to rapid pulsing, modern systems are able to record up to five (5) returns per pulse (These data sets are then available for orthophoto development, high-resolution contour production, and bare-earth surface evaluations). This demonstrates the ability of LIDAR to distinguish not only the canopy and bare ground but also surfaces in between (such as a forest structure and under story). LIDAR systems also have the capability to capture intensity reflectance data in addition to the x-y-z coordinates. Reflectance percentage values differ depending on the type of surface they hit. This data may be processed to produce a geo-referenced raster file, which is ortho-metric and looks somewhat like a conventional image. These images are useful for identification of broad land use and serve as ancillary data for post-processing.
The advantages of using LIDAR, instead of traditional photogrammetry for topographic mapping, pushed research to develop high-performance systems. LIDAR technology offers the opportunity to collect terrain data of steep slopes and shadowed areas (such as, the Grand Canyon), and inaccessible areas (such as, large mud flats and ocean jetties).
These LIDAR applications are well suited for making digital elevation models (DEM), topographic mapping, and automatic feature extraction. Applications are being established for forestry assessment of canopy attributes, and research continues for evaluation of crown diameter, canopy closure, and forest biometrics. Additional uses for wireless communication design, coastal engineering and survey assessments, and volumetric calculations are demonstrating the value of LIDAR data collection.

+ Fiber Optics Sensor
Any device in which variations in the transmitted power or the rate of transmission of light in optical fiber are the means of measurement or control. Fibers can be used to measure temperature, pressure, strain, voltage, current, liquid level, rotation and particle velocity. The small size and the fact that no electrical power is needed at the remote location give the fiber optic sensor advantages to conventional electrical sensor in certain applications
