WIDE AREA IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides a new and useful paradigm in wide area imaging, in which wide area imaging is provided by a step / dwell / image capture process and system to capture images and produce from the captured images a wide area image. The image capture is by a sensor that has a predetermined image field and provides image capture at a predetermined frame capture rate, and by a motorized step and dwell sequence of the sensor, where image capture is during a dwell, and the step and dwell sequence of the sensor is synchronized with the image capture rate of the sensor.
