Acadia® ILS-6500™ Video Stabilizer and Encoder
Combining real-time electronic image stabilization with H.264 encoding, SRI’s Acadia® ILS-6500™ video stabilizer and encoder improves the distribution of quality video. This embedded technology enhances compression by stabilizing video from cameras mounted to platforms that are susceptible to shake—poles, vehicles, and unmanned systems.
The Acadia ILS-6500 video stabilizer compares sequential frames of video and shifts each frame to provide a highly stable output—making it easier to interpret threats, recognize friendlies, and read important identifiers such as license plates. The ILS-6500 video stabilization process also increases encoder efficiency by reducing required bandwidth.
Weighing only 38 grams, the video stabilizer/encoder module is incredibly light, compact, and power efficient. This small form factor is ideal for size, weight, and power (SWaP) constrained applications. The combination of stabilization and compression make the ILS-6500 hardware attractive to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to embed state-of-the-art video processing capabilities into their systems.
