Video Processing Hardware for Use with an Image Dissector Camera

Abstract

The paper presents the design of video processing hardware to best use an image dissector camera in an image processing. Although most of the work was done with the idea of using the results on a specific dissector camera, much of it is applicable to a wide range of photo-multiplier devices. An analog integrator and digital timing circuit which measure the output current from an image dissector tube and produce constant signal to noise ratios of 10, 32, or 100 (selectable) are presented. A digital circuit which produces a number proportional to the log of the dissector current is also presented.
