Name:  Tigershark UAV - GSI HD Video

Description: An example of a UAV System with a High-Definition (HD) video camera taking precise imagery.

Notice the extensive use of the xlink:href attribute referencing elements in other files. ERDAS was the integrator, Penn State provided the UAV and configured the system, and GSI provided the camera and the recording system. Botts Innovative Research, Inc. provided the SensorML descriptions and the on-demand geolocation for the system. This system was demonstrated at Empire Challenge 2008.

This example is broken down into various components and sub-systems.

Under Construction: Several components in the System are missing (such as communication system and jp2 converter).
