![]() ![]() We made some minor modifications to the prototype board, but the camera worked the first time with very few changes to the software. Added John Croteau, General Manager, Convergent Platforms and Services Group, Analog Devices, Inc., ∺cross industries, our Blackfin processors are being adopted in greater and greater numbers as a key enabling technology in designs that place a premium on innovation and time-to-market. We designed our camera using the Blackfin STAMP board and uClinux, which provided the software drivers we needed for the Ethernet interface, to name one example. Using a graphical user interface (GUI) and the Blackfin STAMP development platform, Ann Arbor was able to write its own device-specific drivers and modified parameters.Having uClinux on Blackfin dramatically reduced our development time and costs, said Kryskowski. Weve been so blown away by the processors performance that we plan to use the ADSP-BF561, the dual core Blackfin processor, for our next-generation thermal infrared imaging camera. Ann Arbor also benefited from using uClinux an open-source embedded real-time operating system (RTOS), which is ported on Blackfin processors to develop its application. ![]() To develop a lower-cost solution, we needed a signal processor that offered a low-risk, rapid design cycle that did not require a lot of glue logic to connect the processor to memory and peripherals.With its high-level of integration on a single chip and processing performance of 600 MHz, Blackfin proved to be the ideal solution for us. ![]() Ann Arbors AXT100 camera uses an array of sensors, called Thermopile Focal Plane Array (TFPA), which allows for much smaller, lighter, and more power-efficient cameras.Until now, fixed cameras for process-control applications were very expensive and not widely adopted because of the cost barrier, said David Kryskowski, director of Ann Arbor Sensor Systems. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announced that its ADSP-BF533 Blackfin® is enabling the AXT100 thermal infrared imaging camera from Ann Arbor Sensor Systems LLC (Blackfin, which plays a pivotal role in the AXT100s transformation of infrared energy into color images, has ultimately helped Ann Arbor shatter the traditional price/performance barriers that have slowed the thermal infrared imaging camera market.Infrared imaging is critical in manufacturing applications, such as die-casting and plastic injection, for specifications that are not visible to the naked eye. Norwood, MA (February 2006) - Analog Devices, Inc. Infrared imaging is critical in manufacturing applications, such as die-casting and plastic injection, for specifications that are not visible to the naked eye.

Please be careful exiting and accessing your vehicle. Parking – Parking is along the south side of Brookville Road toward the west end of the Preserve. To visit:Īddress – 7810 Brookville Road, Plymouth MI (at the corner of Brookville and Curtis Roads) Currently, public access to the property is available through a temporary trailhead along Brookville Road.ĭownload the Anthony and Rose Shatter Preserve brochure (PDF) for a trail map and more info. Our plans also include a formal parking area along Brookville Road. ![]() In time we will install boardwalks along wet sections of trail and eventually a floating boardwalk to connect our trails system through the larger wetland area. Weave your way through beech-maple and oak-hickory forest and take in the property’s buttonbush swamps and abundant populations of blue cohosh.ĭue to the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing our management plans for this preserve have been slowed. This 25-acre preserve is home to a mature woodland dotted with various wetland types. Acquired in 2018, the Anthony & Rose Shatter Family Preserve was made possible through the joint efforts of the Salem Township Board of Trustees-via the township’s Land Preservation and Conservation Board-along with Washtenaw County’s Natural Areas Preservation Program, the Ann Arbor Greenbelt, and Legacy. ![]()
