UAV remote sensing grounded simulation system based on DM270 and TCP/IP

Remote Sensing (RS) plays an important role in modern society. As the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology goes to maturity, the UAV becomes a new and effective platform of aerial RS. UAV can equip RS sensors and other instruments to carry out many RS missions. In this paper, based on our successful progress on UAV RS system and several times’ flying experiments in the past, A new UAV remote sensing grounded simulation system was introduced. This system is based on DM270 CMOS imaging subsystem and TCP/IP network. The CMOS imaging subsystem makes full use of the powerful digital signal processing ability of DM270 and the high resolution imaging ability of OV2610 sensor; based on the TCP/IP communication protocol, the front-end and back-end computer programs were developed by Virtual Instrument, to accomplish the startup command and image data transition, image data storage, display and monitoring, and the data memory managing.
