ABSTRACT:
An aircraft based imaging system comprising a sensor mounted in the aircraft in a known orientation, circuitry for acquiring signals generated by the sensor from a scanned area, a system for georeferencing the acquired signals; and a system for compensating for tilt in the acquired signals. The sensor is an infrared sensor and the system for georeferencing the acquired signals is a receiver adapted to receive signals from a global positioning system. The system for compensating for tilt in the aircraft includes a gyroscope, a magnetometer and software for controlling the gyroscope to produce signals indicative of the orientation of the aircraft. The software compensates for tilt in the acquired signals and uses the GPS signals to create an accurate mosaic of the images generated by the sensor.
