COMBINED WIDE-ANGLE AERIAL DIGITAL CAMERA SYSTEM WITH FUNCTIONS OF SELF-CALIBRATION AND SELF-STABILIZATION

摘要

A combined wide-angle aerial digital camera system with functions of self-calibration and self-stabilization includes four cameras (A, B, C, D) arranged in pairs on a stable platform. The main optical axes of one pair of cameras (A, B) provided on the y-axis symmetrically about the origin of coordinate are equivalently and oppositely inclined with an angle ω relative to the z-axis in the y-z plane, respectively. The main optical axes of the other pair of the cameras (C, D) provided on the x-axis symmetrically about the origin of coordinate are equivalently and oppositely inclined with an angle φ relative to the z-axis in the x-z plane, respectively.
