  • Integrated image distortion correction with motion compensated integration
    Patent number: 9646388
    Abstract: A motion compensated integration (MCI) system is disclosed. The MCI system may include a moveable platform, an optical sensor mounted to the moveable platform, an optical sensor line-of-sight measuring device configured to generate optical sensor line-of-sight movement data, and a processor in communication with the optical sensor and the optical sensor line-of-sight measuring device. The optical sensor may include a set of optics, and a focal plane array. The focal plane array may be configured to detect infrared wavelengths focused through the set of optics, and generate focal plane array data. The processor may be configured to simultaneously correct optical distortion from the set of optics and perform MCI re-registration based on the focal plane array data and the optical sensor line-of-sight movement data.
