Frame grabber
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for producing images, the method comprising:
- acquiring images of a geographic location with a monitoring vehicle;
acquiring data with the monitoring vehicle, the data corresponding to the geographic location of the acquired images;
transferring the acquired images from the monitoring vehicle to a frame grabber;
transferring the acquired data from the monitoring vehicle to the frame grabber; and
combining the acquired images and acquired data in approximately real time within the frame grabber as the acquired data and the acquired images are received from the monitoring vehicle to provide a plurality of imagery products.
