Abstract

The present invention relates to an im-proved airborne, direct digital panoramic camera system and method in which an in-line electro-optical sensor (80) operating in conjunction with a data handling unit (82), a controller unit (84), and real time archive unit (86), eliminates the need for photographic film and film transport appara-tus normally associated with prior art airborne reconnaissance cameras and yet still retains the very high image resolution quality which is so im-portant in intelligence operations and commercial geographic information systems (GIS), mapping and other remote sensing applications. Precise geographic data for the system is provided by the use of navigation aids which include the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) System (14) and an airborne platform carried GPS receiver (85). The present invention provides a simpler, more effi-cient and less costly panoramic camera by utiliz-ing a simpler and less expensive line-focus type of lens in conjunction with an electro-optical line array sensor.
