Abstract: So as to provide an inspection camera unit comprising an inspection camera for taking preferably color inspection photos of interiors, in particular of ships, and a method for inspecting interiors, in particular of ships, by taking preferably color inspection photos using the inspection camera, to thereby increase the utility of the inspection photos and also make improved historical consideration possible, it is proposed for the inspection camera unit to comprise referencing means for referencing the inspection photos and for the inspection photos to be referenced by determining relative location data of the inspection camera and orientation data of the inspection camera during the capture of the inspection photos and assigning them to the inspection photos, the relative location data and the orientation data subsequently being classified into a coordinate system of the interiors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a digital line scan camera, having at least at least one focal plane, on which at least one linear photosensitive sensor is arranged, an objective lens, and a location measurement system. The location measurement system is used to determine six external location parameters, where the location system measurement comprises a satellite-supported position determination device and an inertial navigation measurement unit. The line scan camera includes at least on two-dimensional photosensitive sensor, which is synchronously driven with the linear sensor. At least one displacement vector ({right arrow over (x)}) is calculated from the data of the minimum of one two-dimensional photosensitive sensor, and where the displacement vector ({right arrow over (x)}) is used to correct the date of the inertial measurement unit.

Abstract: A focal plane assembly for an optical sensor system, includes at least two photosensitive components and a focal plane plate, on which the photosensitive components are mounted. The focal plane plate is formed out of a number of modules, where the photosensitive components are distributed over the modules and connected to them, and where the individual modules are mounted in a common focal plane frame.

Abstract: A calibration system for ccalibrating orientation parameters of a digital optoelectronic sensor system includes an attitude and position determining system arranged in a mobile carrier, such as an airplane or a satellite, for determining the orientation parameters in flight. An optoelectronic component emits light in a defined direction with respect to the mobile carrier. A planar optical detector is arranged relative to the optoelectronic device for detecting the reflection of radiation emitted from the optoelectronic device and reflected off of a reference module arranged on the ground. The orientation parameters of the reference module are known, wherein the offsets of the orientation parameters of the attitude and position determining system may be determined by evaluating the radiation emitted by the light-emitting component, reflected from the reference module and received by the planar detector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stereo camera (1) for digital photogrammetry, comprising an input optical system (2) and optical detectors which are arranged in the focal plane (3) and whose output signals are processed in an evaluation device (6) to form image information, in which device from a multiplicity of optical detectors in the focal plane (3) in each case at least two of the optical detectors can be driven together as a function of advance information, stored in a storage medium, from the object to be photographed in order to set a desired stereo angle.
