Abstract
An efficient system for generating high resolution photogrammetric image data from a Vidicon camera. The Vidicon camera acquires sequential images of a scene and provides multiple overlapping frames of sequential image data corresponding thereto. A mechanism is provided for maintaining the camera at an optimal angle relative to the direction of movement of the vehicle. A processor operates on the multiple overlapping frames of sequential image data to provide image data of enhanced resolution. Use of overlapping frames of video data allows for the production of images with higher resolution than is currently obtainable with Vidicon cameras or photographic film. In addition, the data is digitizable and convertible to images in real time. Thus, a more efficient system is provided for generating high resolution photogrammetric image data from a Vidicon camera.
