Patent number: 4234241Abstract: A 45.degree. rotary mirror illuminates a detector through an optical colling system and while facing downwards picks up a direct or primary line scan of objects located below in the plane of scanning. While facing upwards, the rotary mirror picks up a secondary line scan indirectly from below by reflection from a non-revolving plane mirror at an acute angle to the axis of rotation of the rotary mirror, which angle corresponds to the base angle of stereo scanning when the primary line scans are correlated with corresponding secondary line scans that respectively precede them by an interval corresponding to the travel time of the movable craft upon which the line scanner is carried along a base line distance determined by the inclination of the non-revolving plane mirror. That inclination is adjustable about a hinge axis perpendicular to the direction of travel of the carrying aircraft or spacecraft.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1979Date of Patent: November 18, 1980Assignee: Deutsche Forschungs- und Versuchsanstalt fur Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V.Inventor: Erich Schmidt
