Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method of controlling an imaging platform, the method comprising:

  • determining, by one or more computing devices, a motion profile for a dual-axis steering mirror associated with an imaging platform;

    determining, by the one or more computing devices, position information indicative of an orientation of the imaging platform at one or more points along a path on which the imaging platform travels;

    determining, by the one of more computing devices, a plurality of integration time periods based at least in part on the motion profile;

    capturing, by the one or more computing devices, a sequence of image frames of at least a portion of a region of interest during at least a subset of the plurality of integration time periods as the imaging platform travels along the path;

    identifying, by the one or more computing devices, blur in at least one of the captured image frames; and

    controlling, by the one or more computing devices, the motion of the steering mirror based at least in part on the motion profile, the position information, and the identified blur, wherein controlling the motion of the steering mirror comprises controlling the steering mirror to rotate about a first axis and a second axis.
