A coupling assembly for a scope and an image sensor housing is disclosed generally comprising an image orientation unit (36) having first (38) and second coupling sections (40) for coupling the unit to a scope and an image sensor housing, such as a camera head (12), an optical assembly with a rotatable optical element for rotating the images, a rotation sensor for monitoring rotation of the optical element, an accelerometer (18) for monitoring rotation of the unit (36), and a processor (16) for receiving signals from the rotation sensor and the accelerometer (18) and calculating the orientation of the images relative to the direction of gravity.
摘要:
In a FLIR/laser based targeting and imaging system, the ability to recognize, detect, locate, and/or track targets in an area of interest is significantly improved by reducing the fixed and dynamic alignment errors between the IR LOS and the laser LOS. Fixed alignment errors are reduced with an improved internal boresight module and corresponding boresight method. Dynamic alignment errors are reduced with an opto-electric subsystem that employs a single pitch bearing and a common pitch/yaw afocal for both the laser energy and the IR energy. A segmented window in the system housing includes a circular EMI grid pattern which significantly reduces the amount of off-axis EMI entering the optical pathways, and improved signal processing techniques are employed to enhance the quality of the IR image after the image has been digitized.

摘要:
A scanning sensor system comprising a light sensor and a scanning telescope. The scanning telescope includes at least two primary telescope mirrors supported (preferably symmetrically) about a primary-mirror rotation axis. Each of the primary telescope mirrors is oriented to receive incident light along an incident ray path that is not parallel to the primary-mirror rotation axis. The scanning telescope includes at least one additional telescope mirror positioned to alternately receive a first reflected light beam from a first one of the primary telescope mirrors and thereafter a second reflected light beam from a second one of the primary telescope mirrors, and to direct the reflected light beam into the light sensor along an optical path. A primary mirror drive rotates that at least two primary mirrors about the primary mirror rotation axis at a primary mirror angular instantaneous rate rotation. A half-angle derotation mirror is positioned to reflect a light beam in the optical path, and a derotation mirror drive rotates the derotation mirror about a derotation-mirror axis parallel to the primary mirror rotation axis at a derotation angular rate of rotation that is one-half of the primary mirror angular instantaneous rate of rotation during the active scan period. The primary telescope mirrors are preferably mounted in a housing.

Provided is an optical system having an image rotating function disposed on an image side with respect to an image pickup lens, which makes it possible that its optical performance is satisfactory, an eclipse amount is small, a field angle and an F number intended by a photographer are obtained, and compactness is achieved. The optical system is an optical system mountable to the image pick up lens. The optical system includes: an image rotator which is disposed on the image side with respect to a first imaging plane of the image pick up lens and has an incident optical axis and an emission optical axis made coaxial to each other; a first lens unit having a negative optical power which is disposed between the image pick up lens and the first imaging plane; a second lens unit having a positive optical power which is disposed between the first imaging plane and the image rotator; and a third lens unit having a positive optical power which is disposed on the image side with respect to the image rotator.

摘要:
A scanning system (200) for scanning an imaging surface (235) includes a radiation emitter (210) configured to emit a beam of radiation directed towards a deflector (230) for scanning the beam onto the imaging surface. A detector (270) detects any misalignment of the beam with respect to the deflector. A driver (282) moves a correction element (280) substantially perpendicular to the beam axis of the correction element to correct for the detected misalignment during scanning of the imaging surface.
