Verification Of Video Frame Latency Telemetry For Uav Systems Using A Secondary Optical Method, Sam B. Siewert Jan 2014

Verification Of Video Frame Latency Telemetry For Uav Systems Using A Secondary Optical Method, Sam B. Siewert

Sam B. Siewert

This paper presents preliminary work and a prototype computer vision optical method for latency measurement for an UAS (Uninhabited Aerial System) digital video capture, encode, transport, decode, and presentation subsystem. Challenges in this type of latency measurement include a no-touch policy for the camera and encoder as well as the decoder and player because the methods developed must not interfere with the system under test. The goal is to measure the true latency of displayed frames compared to observed scenes (and targets in those scenes) and provide an indication of latency to operators that can be verified and compared to …
