Innovative Signal Analysis
WAV is a long-range video surveillance solution for homeland security applications and other situations that require persistent visual-domain awareness of very wide areas.
Traditional long-range high-resolution camera/lens systems typically have a horizontal field of view as narrow as 0.5 degrees or less when zoomed in for detailed observation. When zoomed out for wide-area video, the traditional systems provide very low effective resolution. A single WAV/cam sensor provides full resolution telephoto images over a 90-degree wide field of view with a refresh rate of 1 to 2 images per second.
WAV offers what no other wide-area domain awareness solution can: persistent, full-resolution video of very wide areas. Other benefits of WAV include:
-
Effective automatic change detection greatly reduces operator workload.
-
Availability of midwave IR models and daytime models.
-
Multiple full resolution windows providing high resolution surveillance of widely separated situations.
-
Immediate review and later forensics.
