Intel on Aware® Data Acquisition

Aware® Data Acquisition supports dozens of sensor types from various manufactures in a uniform framework, centralizing control and of all hardware in a single interface. The software runs under Microsoft Windows and can be deployed on a laptop or dedicated flight computer or as part of an embedded system. The system can run attended with an operator in-the-loop or fully unattended.  The software has several add-on modules available that allow for enhanced capabilities in flight: live ortho-rectification of imagery and automated object detection/feature extraction with AI algorithms. The application can export metadata and spatial data in standardized formats such as KML & Shapefiles compatible with a wide variety of GIS tools.

Features:

Unmanned Aircraft

Deployable on embedded systems for situations with constraints on system size, weight and power.

System Integration

Supports sensors from various manufacturers simultaneously, including multiple cameras and INS systems in a single flight.

Massive Storage

Generate multi-terabyte data sets.

Machine Learning Integration

Integration with several AI and computer vision frameworks for image classification and object detection workflows in flight, immediately after imagery is acquired.

Live viewing

Real-time access to acquired imagery to confirm quality & spatial coverage during acquisition.

Image Processing

Realtime orthorectification of imagery at full resolution, including generation of map tiles compatible with web and desktop GIS applications.

Embedded Metadata

Records all image metadata in a database, including camera and aircraft parameters, allowing for efficient data search and retrieval post-flight.

Unattended Operator

Unattended operation where the software is configured with a flight plan and simply powered on. Data acquisition is controlled automatically based on configured areas of interest.
