Abstract
A system for compensating image misregistration between at least two image sensors includes a first image sensor and a second image sensor which are disposed on a platform and are configured to provide first and second output images, respectively. The system also includes a motion sensor and a processor. The motion sensor senses movement of the platform. The processor calculates a lag time between the first and second image sensors based on first and second processing delay times of the first and second image sensors, respectively. The processor also calculates an image offset based on the lag time and the movement of the platform sensed by the motion sensor and offsets one of the first or second output image with respect to the other one of the first or second output image based on the image offset. A fuser combines the offset image with the non-offset image.
