Abstract
A stabilized imaging system in which the lens assembly is fixed, and an electro-optic imager element is moveable to compensate for three-dimensional movements of the surrounding structure. Preferably the optical train also includes a movable prism, which can rotate the field of view in one plane. Rotation of the imager compensates for the image rotation caused by rotation of the prism.
