Title:
LARGE FORMAT DIGITAL CAMERA WITH MULTIPLE OPTICAL SYSTEMS AND DETECTOR ARRAYS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/066240
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A large format digital camera has a primary camera system configured for collecting panchromatic image data and a secondary camera system configured for collecting color image data. The secondary camera system has an optical system that has a longer focal length than the optical system of the primary camera system. The resolution of the secondary camera system is greater than the resolution of the primary camera system. The footprint of images produced by the primary camera system is larger in size than the footprint of images produced by the secondary camera system. Images produced by the primary camera system offer information for performing image-based georeferencing by means of photogrammetric triangulation. Images produced by the secondary camera system offer a high-resolution narrow angle color image suitable for use in ortho image production.
