To meet application requirements of high resolution and high frame rate for the aerial camera, a real-time high definition (HD) aerial camera imaging system is designed and developed. A KAI-01050 charge-coupled device (CCD), ADSP-BF561, and AD9920A are used in the system. ADSP-BF561 is used to configure registers of AD9920A for generating the timing-driven signals to meet CCD parameter needs, and image stitching through ping-pong operation of collected video signals is achieved, then the image is displayed correctly. In the end, the system is developed, 1 M pixels and 60 frame rate are realized, and running results on the system verify effectiveness of the design program.
