In order to make it possible for an image data acquisition and storage system used for aerial photographic survey to have
a continuous storage speed of 144 MB/s and data storage capacity of 260GB, three main problems have been solved in
this paper. First, with multi-channel synchronous DMA transfer, parallel data storage of four SCSI hard disks is realized.
It solved the problem of the data transfer rate too high for direct storage. Then, to increase the data transfer rate, a high
speed BUS based on LVDS and a SCSI control circuit based on FAS368M were designed. It solved the problem of PCI
BUS limiting the storage speed. Finally, the problem of the SCSI hard disk continuous storage speed declining led by
much time interval between two DMA transfers is solved by optimizing DMA channel. The practical system test shows
that the acquisition and storage system has a continuous storage speed of 150 MB/s and a data storage capacity of 280GB.
Therefore, it is a new storage method for high speed and mass image data.
