A computer-implemented method of capturing imagery, the method comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices , one or more vibration characteristics for an imaging platform having an optical payload including one or more image capture devices, wherein the imaging platform is travelling along a path such that there is a relative motion between the one or more image capture devices and a region of interest of which a plurality of images are to be captured in succession by the one or more image capture devices; inducing, by one or more computing devices, vibration in the imaging platform causing at least a portion of the imaging platform to move about a reference point according to the one or more vibration characteristics, wherein the induced vibration causes a line of sight of the one or more image capture devices to change in accordance with a sine wave thereby to counteract the relative motion between the one or more image capture devices and the region of interest due to the imaging platform travelling along the path, wherein the one or more vibration characteristics comprise a frequency and amplitude of the sine wave; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a collect period corresponding to a period of time, during a period of the sine wave of the induced vibration of the imaging platform, in which the relative motion between the line of sight of the one or more image capture devices and the region of interest is reduced to within a threshold range; and controlling, by the one or more computing devices, a collection of data by the one or more image capture devices based at least in part on the collect period. identifying, by one or more computing devices , one or more vibration characteristics for an imaging platform having an optical payload including one or more image capture devices, wherein the imaging platform is travelling along a path such that there is a relative motion between the one or more image capture devices and a region of interest of which a plurality of images are to be captured in succession by the one or more image capture devices; inducing, by one or more computing devices, vibration in the imaging platform causing at least a portion of the imaging platform to move about a reference point according to the one or more vibration characteristics, wherein the induced vibration causes a line of sight of the one or more image capture devices to change in accordance with a sine wave thereby to counteract the relative motion between the one or more image capture devices and the region of interest due to the imaging platform travelling along the path, wherein the one or more vibration characteristics comprise a frequency and amplitude of the sine wave; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a collect period corresponding to a period of time, during a period of the sine wave of the induced vibration of the imaging platform, in which the relative motion between the line of sight of the one or more image capture devices and the region of interest is reduced to within a threshold range; and controlling, by the one or more computing devices, a collection of data by the one or more image capture devices based at least in part on the collect period. <EOS>
