摘要： Methods and systems for combining multiple video streams are provided. Video feeds are received from multiple optical sensors, and homography information and/or corner metadata is calculated for each frame from each video stream. This data is used to mosaic the separate frames into a single video frame. Local translation of each image may also be used to synchronize the video frames. The optical sensors can be provided by an airborne platform, such as a manned or unmanned surveillance vehicle. Image data can be requested from a ground operator, and transmitted from the airborne platform to the user in real time or at a later time. Various data arrangements may be used by an aggregation system to serialize and/or multiplex image data received from multiple sensor modules. Fixed-size record arrangement and variable-size record arrangement systems are provided.

摘要翻译： 提供了组合多个视频流的方法和系统。 从多个光学传感器接收视频馈送，并且针对每个视频流的每个帧计算单应性信息和/或角元数据。 该数据用于将单独的帧拼接成单个视频帧。 每个图像的本地转换也可以用于同步视频帧。 光学传感器可以由诸如载人或无人监控车辆的机载平台来提供。 可以从地面操作员请求图像数据，并且从空中平台向用户实时地或稍后地发送。 聚合系统可以使用各种数据布置来串行化和/或复用从多个传感器模块接收的图像数据。 提供了固定尺寸记录布置和可变尺寸记录布置系统。
