Disclosed is an imaging method for capturing images using a sensor (20) mounted on an unmanned aircraft (2). The method comprises: acquiring a range of motion of the sensor (20) relative to the aircraft (2); acquiring a specification of a linear path (40) along the ground (8); acquiring parameter values relating to aircraft manoeuvrability; using the acquired information determining a procedure; performing, by the aircraft (2), the procedure and simultaneously capturing, by the sensor (20), a set of images. The procedure comprises the aircraft (2) moving with respect to the path (40) and the sensor (20) moving with respect to the aircraft (2) such that at some time each point along the path (40) is coincident with a footprint (44) of the sensor (20). Also, each point along the path (40) is present within at least one of the captured images. |
