HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERA FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT INVOLVING CORRECTION OF WOBBLE TYPE DISTORTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high resolution camera for unmanned aircraft involving correction of wobble type distortion.SOLUTION: A camera unit (14) includes a high resolution rolling shutter camera (16), and one or more low resolution global shutter camera (18), e.g., a monochromatic spectrum camera. All cameras are directed to the same direction, and can be activated together for simultaneous collection of the high resolution image (I) and at least one low resolution image (I-I) of the same scene observed by an unmanned aircraft. Image processing means (22) determines wobble type distortion, existing in the high resolution image but not existing in the low resolution image, and combines a high resolution image (I) and low resolution images (I-I), before delivering a high resolution image (I'), corrected for these distortions, as an output.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
