Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus of correcting image distortion using an orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device array is provided. A wide field of view line-scan remote sensing system includes an array of orthogonal transfer charge-coupled devices (OTCCDs) configured to record image data of an optical image of a moving object received from a lens. Further, the system includes a processor coupled to the array of OTCCDS, in which the processor is configured to scan the optical image across the array of OTCCDs; and shift pixel charges along a first axis and a second axis that substantially matches an actual image motion of the moving object while the optical image is being scanned in order to reduce an amount of image distortion across the array of OTCCDs.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wide field of view line-scan remote sensing system, comprising: an array of orthogonal transfer charge-coupled devices (OTCCDs) configured to record image data of an optical image of a moving object received from a lens; and a processor coupled to the array of OTCCDs, the processor configured to: scan the optical image across the array of OTCCDs; and shift pixel charges along a first axis and a second axis that substantially matches an actual image mo…
