COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF PANORAMIC CAMERA RECONNAISSANCE SYSTEMS

Abstract

A survey is made of current panoramic camera system designs which are classified into four basic types with further sub-grouping where applicable. These systems are analyzed for their potential applications in airborne use considering such factors as operational altitudes, recycle rates, scanning rates, focal lengths and installation requirements. The various system designs are compared primarily on the basis of their theoretical performance capability and to a lesser extent on actual performance results of the few developed prototypes on which data was available.
