OVERALL IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE MOUNTED ON AIRCRAFT

摘要

PURPOSE:To directly record image data in real time in a form of digital data by picking up images of the ground continuously from an aircraft. CONSTITUTION:A line sensor directed in the vertical direction is arranged between line sensors directed in oblique forward and backward directions and a three-line sensor camera 1 comprising the three line sensors arranged side by side is mounted on an aircraft. A gyro 2 is mounted integrally with the three-line sensor camera 1 and a picture of the ground is recorded/reproduced based on attitude data of the camera 1 outputted from the gyro 2, positioned data of the aircraft obtained by a GPS 3 and digital picture data from the three-line sensor camera 1. Since the gyro 2 is mounted integrally to the camera 1, the optical axis of the camera 1 is directed always perpendicularly.
