The GIT G2010 Series Sensors
  • IMU operates without drift
  • No noticeable registration error
  • 8 bit pixel depth allows increased portability and speed
  • up to 15,500  pixel wide frames
  • No need for added space or rack systems due to one Terabyte storage capability
  • Uploadable into any office system via standard hand portable hard drive at 390 MB per second
  • Fully automated
The GIT Sensor System incorporates highly accurate IMU that is coupled to GPS. This allows the IMU to operate without drift that can introduce unacceptable errors into the processing solution. This technology avoids the usual inaccuracies that many of the IMU systems have.

The
 
GIT System is capable of collecting RGB data and NIR simultaneously. The frames are triggered within a hundredth of a microsecond of each other. No noticeable registration error can be seen upon post flight analysis. .

The imagery is collected in 12 bit pixel depth. It is then analyzed and reduced to 8 bit. Whereas the tendency is to market 12 bit imagery as superior, our tests have actually shown that the added bit depth contributes little or nothing to the quality for 99% of the end users. As a result, 8 bit data eliminates added baggage increasing portability and speed.

Data is collected in frames that are an astounding 8,900 pixels if RGB, not low resolution color overlaid onto panchromatic! Triggering occurs automatically from the GPS system at a rate of twice per second, resulting in sufficient overlap at aircraft speeds up to 150 knots.
During collection, data is stored on the  GIT Sensor itself with a storage capability of one terabyte of data internally. There is no more need to plan on the added space and weight of a rack system for data storage. After collection, this data can be downloaded using a standard Firewire portable hard drive at transfer rates up to 390 MB per second. Once downloaded onto the hard drive the data can be uploaded to any office system via IEEE-1394 (Firewire) interface.

The  GIT Sensor System is designed to be as automated as possible. While it can operate in fully hands-off manner, an optional remote interface (included with the system) also allows for the hands-on approach. This interface can be attached anywhere in the cabin due to the 4 meters of cable, enabling users to control flight lines as well as manage system status during the flight. If the remote interface option is not used, controlling the system is done by using the buttons on the face of the unit.
