An automated airborne video recording system for imaging pipeline or electric line rights-of-way, irrigation canals, or any other linear ground features. The system includes a gimbaled, stabilized camera system, a data recorder, and autonomous imager software that computes the shortest vector between the aircraft position and the pipeline based on the aircraft GPS and the Geographic Information Database. The system then commands the stabilized camera system to point directly at the pipeline regardless of the aircraft position and orientation, automatically collecting continuous NTSC or digital video of the entire right of way.
