When the aerial camera photographï1/4a variety of image motion is caused by prior to the flight, pitching, rolling and vibration and other reasonsï1/4thus leading to the existence of relative motion of the illuminated objects in the focal plane of a photosensitive medium, the image is bluredï1/4and the imaging quality of the camera is seriously affected. Various causes of image motion and effects on image is analyzed by this paper,the necessity of image motion compensation is expounded. By analyzing existed methods of image motion compensation,and on this basis, a new multi degree of freedom motion compensation method is designed,through the parallel mechanism motion,for image motion compensation by optical image motion compensation principleï1/4a variety of airborne camera to take pictures of the image motion also can be eliminated. © COPYRIGHT SPIE.
