Ccd Focal Plane Array Analog Image Processor
A focal plane array designed for real-time, general-purpose, image preprocessing is described. The analog charge-coupled device-based array operates in the charge domain and has sensing, storing, and computing capabilities. It captures the image data and performs local neighborhood operations. The array is digitally programmable and various image preprocessing tasks can be implemented. It uses ...
متن کاملDesign of a Ccd Focal - Plane Image Half - Toner
The design of a CCD image half-toner integrated monolithically on the focal plane with a 256 X 256 frame transfer imager is reported and the algorithm used is discussed. The imager/half-toner chip is projected to achieve a throughput of 30 frames per second.
متن کاملFirst observations with a new imaging polarimeter
We present first observations of solar polarization with a new imaging polarimetry system that simultaneously records three Stokes components, I , Q, V or I , U , V , in a single CCD. This instrument is an intermediate version on the way to ZIMPOL II (Zürich Imaging Stokes Polarimeter II), which will record all four Stokes parameters (Stenflo et al. 1992). The principle of operation is based on...
متن کاملA polarimeter for IXO
The X-ray POLarimeter (XPOL) is an instrument that will fly on-board the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). We will describe the XPOL setup in IXO and we will compare the IXO requirements with the actual prototype performance. The environmental tests performed on the XPOL prototype (thermo-vacuum, vibration and heavy ions irradiation) show that this technology is ready for a space applicati...
متن کاملA simple optical electron polarimeter
It is pointed out that heavy atoms (i.e. those which have spectroscopically resolvable fine structure) are not required for optical measurements of electron polarisation. A polarimeter which uses helium gas instead of heavy-metal vapour is proposed, and several experimental details are discussed. Optical detection of electron polarisation was first proposed more than a decade ago by Farago and ...
