INTRODUCTION
A data collection system configured as part of the UFO Data Acquisition Project
(UFODAP) utilizes UFO Data Acquisition System (UFODAS) components. A UFODAS
consists of a number of hardware and software components including cameras, cables,
a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector and software. This document will guide you
through the initial physical and software selection and setup of these components.
The basic unit of a UFODAS is a Data Acquisition Unit (DAU). There are several types
of DAUs:
•
Optical Tracking DAUs (OTDAU) which provides all of the functions to stream,
analyze, detect and track targets in video streams from cameras
•
Multi-Sensor DAUs (MSDAUs) which collect data from non-optical sensors
including magnetic, gravitational, GPS and RF data
A complete UFODAS installation includes one or more DAUs and supporting
components. Planning your system involves the following considerations:
•
Site selection
– Verification of usable viewing site lines to the intended field of
view.
•
If you will collect data from one or more cameras, Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition
Units (MSDAUs) or both.
•
If you are using a camera(s), selection of the type of camera(s) for your situation
-- Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) or fixed, optical field width and, if PTZ, maximum zoom.
•
Equipment mounting methods
– Using a tripod for temporary field studies or
implementing a more permanent attachment of the equipment to a structure.
•
Power source selection
– Determining if AC power will be provided from a source
near the installation or if the system must be self-sustaining, using, for instance,
a solar/battery inverter power source.
•
Communication infrastructure
– Availability of local or remote routers and internet
connections and whether the OTDAU or MC software will be run on one or more
computers and whether those computers are local or remote.
