ARGUS, Resolution 1.8 Gigapixel Camera Surveillance

Scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) United States, showing the sophistication of the development of new surveillance cameras. ARGUS, this sophisticated camera device can produce 1.8 Gigapixel resolution video (GP).

Reported Machineslikeus, Tuesday (02/05/2013), ARGUS series made ​​of some cameras and other types of imaging systems. Scientists develop this cutting-edge device that is able to bring the system output extreme-high-resolution imaging, ie, image and video mosaic GP 1.8.

Through a video uploaded to YouTube, the camera ARGUS can monitor traffic events, marking the car sped through. In fact, the details of moving the pedestrians were able to arrest a high resolution image.

ARGUS is placed on a fleet of aircraft. When the plane flying through the air, ARGUS can monitor the object or area beneath it. You want to see a video demonstration of ARGUS, can access this link.

Apparently, DARPA scientists create ARGUS dedicated to defense and security. DARPA, which had previously developed a quadruped robot to support soldiers on the battlefield, has also created an unmanned aircraft called Hummingbird.

U.S. Army (USA) along with Boeing carrying the "vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial system" or VTOL-UAS at Hummingbird. Reportedly, this unmanned aircraft used for spying on U.S. Middle East countries such as Afghanistan.

Hummingbird is capable of flying at an altitude of 20 thousand feet. The camera lens is embedded in the plane can also scan (scan) the Earth's surface as wide as 25 square miles.
