VIDEO ANALYSIS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

When the output from one or two camera and time lapse video recording systems must be analyzed, the job is not normally very difficult. However when you have six or fifteen or maybe even sixty-four cameras as some of our customers do, the analysis becomes much more difficult. Hardware solutions in conjunction with software can collect all necessary data and with proper planning, allows your extracted data to be statistically valid even if you do not look at every image recorded.

A STRONG WORD OF CAUTION! COLLECTING ONLY MOTION TRIGGERED DATA WITHOUT REGARD TO PROPER CALIBRATION CAN INVALIDATE THE DATA. SEE ANALOG VERSUS DIGITAL RECORDING.

Computer assisted image analysis

We are not experts in the choice or use of software to assist in image analysis. Our area of expertise is the initial capture of the images in the proper quantity and quality for you to analyze. May we suggest that after you discuss a system with us, you contact these vendors to see if their products can assist you in your data analysis. If you have contact with other vendors who can supply good customer support, we will add them to this list.

Multi channel analog systems

Multi-channel systems require special considerations because the wrong choices can make the desired data very difficult or even impossible to extract after recording.

Many times various independent data streams such as GPS location, sound level data, oscilloscope displays, instrumentation displays or even human voice callouts of instrument readings must be time coordinated. We consider data derived to be the most important function of all of our systems and we want to make sure that you get it. These subjects will require further phone discussions to determine your requirements.
