Abstract

A new electro-optical sensor concept is presented. With this "Conformed Panoramic" sensor; a uniform GSD is implemented in both directions. Unwanted redundancy and "S" curve scan geometry are eliminated, and the duty-cycle approaches unity. These features make possible an electronically rectified, uniform-image-scale, minimum-bandwidth collection system.
