System for detecting image abnormalities
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image capture system, comprising:
- a moving platform;
an image capture device having a sensor for capturing an image having pixels, the image capture device mounted on the moving platform; and
a detection computer executing an abnormality detection algorithm for detecting an abnormality in the pixels of the image immediately after the image is captured by scanning the image utilizing predetermined parameters indicative of characteristics of the abnormality and then automatically and immediately causing a re-shoot of the image, wherein the abnormality is caused by overstimulation of the sensor of the image capture device, causing at least a portion of the image to be obscured.

6. An image capture system, comprising:
-
a moving platform; an image capture device mounted on the moving platform and having a sensor for capturing an aerial image, the aerial image having pixels, the sensor having an image area and a dark area bordering the image area; and a detection computer executing an abnormality detection algorithm for detecting an abnormality in the pixels of the aerial image immediately after the aerial image is captured by scanning the aerial image utilizing predetermined parameters indicative of characteristics of the abnormality and then automatically scheduling a re-shoot of the aerial image such that the re-shoot occurs prior to landing of the moving platform, wherein the abnormality detection algorithm causes the detection computer to scan the aerial image by monitoring pixel values of the aerial image as the pixel values are moved through the dark area of the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. An image capture system, comprising:
-
a moving platform; an image capture device mounted on the moving platform and having a sensor for capturing an aerial image, the aerial image having pixels, the sensor having an image area and a dark area bordering the image area; and a detection computer executing an abnormality detection algorithm for detecting an abnormality in the pixels of the aerial image immediately after the aerial image is captured by scanning the aerial image utilizing predetermined parameters indicative of characteristics of the abnormality and then automatically scheduling a re-shoot of the aerial image such that the re-shoot occurs prior to landing of the moving platform, wherein the abnormality detection algorithm causes the detection computer to scan the aerial image using pattern recognition techniques to detect the abnormality in the pixels of the aerial image.
