Custom Camera Systems

IdeaBank has world leading expertise in the development of custom camera systems, be it remote powered, wireless, covert, solar powered or automated.  We have extensive experience in design, build and implementation of these systems, from outdoor deployment through to Internet video streaming.  Our staff have been involved in the complete development of image and video compression codecs, video monitoring and recording software, automated backup of video, error protection and coding of video and custom creation of image editing tools.  We also have ownership of various components of camera technology available for license or IP sale.  Please contact us for a demonstration of our expertise.  We have implemented camera systems for landcorp in the portal C2030.

"Recently one of our teams was deployed to Jakarta, Indonesia. On short notice, our client advised that we had to prepare and deliver a presentation to key stakeholders within their company. Of key importance within the presentation was the use of video footage of our training methods, captured on the Ideabank installed system we have at our facility in Western Australia. Thankfully, IdeaBank was able to remotely assist us over a very poor Internet connection to convert our video-camera training footage into a format suitable for use in our powerpoint presentation. This is just one example of how IdeaBank plays a critical role in our business, ensuring that results are always delivered."

Demetrios Pynes, Managing Director, Tactical Conflict Solutions

TCS provide training and combat simulation exercises to the security industry. Ideabank has implemented a website for TCS, including a user-group forum for students and a password protected student download area.  IdeaBank has also implemented a camera network to record and review training footage at the TCS training facility. This system was required to work at high-speed and in low-lighting conditions.

A selection of software developed by IdeaBank

Mineral Spectrum Analysis Tool

This program was developed to combine the recorded radio spectrum of a large number of mineral samples for subsequent wavelet analysis.

 

Complete Image Compression Codec

A complete image compression codec was developed without the use of any third-party libraries. This codec included features such as:

  • Huffman coding & arithmetic coding
  • High-speed wavelet transforms
  • Forward error correction coding
  • Radio channel simulation
  • Texas Instruments DSP implementation with a camera and serial port for transmission to a PC.

Business Name Generator

The Business Name Generator was created to provide a basic tool to list all possible name combinations from a list of prefixes and suffixes provided by the user.

Localised Entropy Calculator

This program was developed to measure the localised entropy through-out a supplied image. The purpose of this project was to analyse images of stromatolites fossils to give an indication if they were of biological origin.

Radio Channel Simulator for Image Transmission

This program simulates a random and burst error radio channel to estimate the effects of channel errors on wavelet compressed images.

Wavelet Compression Visualisation Tool

This tool was developed to demonstrate how images can be broken into low to high frequency components using the wavelet transform. Demonstration using a web-cam to capture the images for wavelet compression was also implemented.

Background Creator for PowerPoint

A basic program to generate single coloured backgrounds for PowerPoint and printed documents.
