ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (32) and technique for compensating for motion in an electro-optical camera system. An image system is maintained on an aircraft for generating an image of terrain while the aircraft is in flight. A high resolution linear array (24) generates an image from a field of view (30), while a rectangular array (26) generates a corresponding image on a periodic basis. The rectangular image serves as a reference for the pixels of the linear array for determining if features in the linear array have shifted or distorted. An error is generated corresponding to the differences between the linear array and the rectangular array, the linear array being corrected as a function of the error.
