Abstract
The photography camera and a video camera system have used in many purposes from
a hand camera to space imaging system. This paper is concerned to upgrade the
photography camera that used for survey or surveillance applications. A direct method is to
replace the film magazine and the shutter by a Charge Couple Device (CCD). Since the
most of these photographic camera systems have a big size, in which the adapted CCD
detectors are hard to be available or assembled. An alternative new technique will be
described through this paper to upgrade the photography camera to an electro-optical
imaging system. An example was applied to illustrate the upgrading procedures, and many
experiments were done using survey photographic camera and the results were
successfully.
