Johnson, C S

Techniques for optical surveillance and storage in the last two decades have been mainly centered first around film cameras and then around video cameras and time lapse video tape recorders. There is every indication that these technologies will have vanished by the end of the 1990's. The evolution of video technology is taking place at a staggering pace driven by the new solid state devices being produced by the semiconductor industry. While the safeguards industry may be quite satisfied with the performance of the present image hardware available to them, the obsolescence of today's technology will occur rapidly. This paper will look at the development trends in today's technology and see what they indicate for image surveillance developments in next few years. 3 figs.
