WAYNE, N.J., 9 Oct. 2008. Vision Research in Wayne, N.J., is launching the Miro Airborne digital high-speed camera for airborne applications like stores separation on manned aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), miss distance calculations for missile deployment, or landing gear analysis.

The Miro Airborne has a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor with a maximum resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. At maximum resolution, Miro Airborne can record 1,250 frames per second (fps), and as fast as 111,000 fps at reduced resolutions.

With shutter speeds as fast as two microseconds, users can freeze objects in motion, eliminate blur, and bring out details necessary for motion analysis. Miro Airborne also features mounting plates with standard 1/4-20 holes on two sides of the camera.

The Miro Airborne camera includes 2 gigabytes of internal volatile memory for the fast writing of data for high-speed image capture and also features a CompactFlash card slot. After the camera is triggered, Miro Airborne immediately writes to its internal memory and then automatically transfers the images to the removable, non-volatile CompactFlash card for safe storage of images and movie files.
