SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT MATCHING
Select the initial course semester:
Software or Hardware method to increase 30 hz frame rate of video camera
Title: Software or Hardware method to increase 30 hz frame rate of video camera 
Category: Industry 
Intellectual Property: Student team controls intellectual property 
Year: 2009 
Semester: Fall 
Sponsor Name: Lockheed Martin/ Advanced Technology Center 
Sponsoring advisors:  
Sponsor URL: http://lmco.com 
Sponsor Information: PhD Physics, Fellow
8 Patents in Electro Optic devices
Research interests include lasers, electro optics, and theoretical and experimental physics. 
ITAR Restriction: No 
Scope of work: Using a sponsor supplied ccd video camera with ~ 640 x 480 pixels and frame rate of 30 hz, design,fabricate, and demonstrate a variable frame rate device with ability to increase frame rate to 100 hz.
Either software, hardware, or a combination of both may be used. Higher frame rates can use a smaller window ( less number of pixels ), but this window must be user definable at a user chosen ROI.
