Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for compensating for image motion induced by a relative motion between an imaging platform and a scene. During an exposure period, frames of the scene may be captured respectively in multiple spectral bands, where one of the spectral bands has a lower light level than the first spectral band, and contemporaneous frames include a nearly identical induced image motion. Image eigenfunctions are utilized to estimate the induced image motion from the higher SNR spectral band, and compensate in each of the multiple bands.
