MTI - Moving Target Indication (optional module)
The Moving Target Indication is based on proven picture recognition technology and helps to detect small and large moving objects automatically on the ground or on ocean surface. Each moving target is uniquely identified by an ID and can be highlighted with colors. The MTI functionality of the ERS is offered as an additional software module. Available as Land Module and Maritime Module.
Land MTI
The MTI records the movements of objects in the image area and visibly traces each one.
Maritime MTI
Optimized for maritime surveillance missions (i.e. maritime SAR), the MTI detects objects such as life jackets and persons overboard.
Marker
A marker identifies a position at a specified time. The ERS shows different marker types with different colors. The level of transparency of the color relates to the marker status.
- Different marker types with different colors
- Steer camera to selected marker
- Steer searchlight to selected marker
- Sends marker coordinates to the EuroNav
- Receives target markers from the EuroNav
- Sends marker coordinates to FMS
- LRF Marker (Laser Range Finder)
- Comprehensive Marker Manager menu
Database & Search
ERS offers a comprehensive and powerful search engine, which can be used during the mission and with active camera overlay. The standard database includes city, street, house numbers, Point of Interests, waters (rivers, lakes, etc.) and Railroads. Beyond this, there are additional databases available on request.
Camera Brush Function
The ERS camera brush function provides a visual feedback of an area which has already been inspected. This function can be used to search for missing person etc. by depicting the already searched area whilst coloring the footprint of the camera on a separate 2D map. The color intensity of the area will change depending of the Field of View (FOV). Wider FOV will lead to more transparent colored area. The color intensity of an area also increases, whenever the FOV is pointing at it again.
HMI - Human Machine Interface
The ERS accepts an array of operational means to control the system. The means of control range from keyboards, Cursor Control Devices (CCD’s), Display Line Select Keys (LSK’s) to touch screens and/or the EUROAVIONICS ERS Control Panel. The latter combines a rotary knob with a joystick, push button and 8 dedicated direct access keys.
ERS Control Panel
Page Concept
The Page Concept is a tailored HMI for every mission and/or flight status the customer has in his mission portfolio. The Page Concept also offers you the flexibility to edit a page and assign specific settings associated with each specific page. Your created pages can be shared and imported on other ERS Systems.
Point Function
Entering a coordinate manually in order to define it as marker position or to steer the camera to this point.
LRF Marker (Laser Range Finder)
Every time the laser has been used to measure the height of a building etc. a LRF marker is set automatically at this particular position. Availability depends on camera model.
Searchlight Function
A Searchlight can be controlled via the ERS in paralell to a camera. Point the searchlight on a certain coordinate, marker position etc. or set it slave to the camera.
