Patent ID: 7805020

Claim:
A system for compensating image misregistration between at least two image sensors comprising: first and second image sensors disposed on a platform and configured to provide first and second output images, respectively; a motion sensor for sensing movement of the platform; and a processor configured to calculate an image offset based on the movement of the platform sensed by the motion sensor; wherein the image offset is calculated by determining (a) horizontal and vertical velocities of the platform, and (b) processing delay time between the first and second output images, and the processor provides a vector defining a number of pixels in horizontal rows and vertical columns by which the first and second output images are shifted to compensate for the image misregistration between the first and second output images; wherein the processor is configured to calculate horizontal and vertical image offsets using the following equation: offset x,y =υ x,y Lag T , where: υ x,y is a velocity vector of the horizontal and vertical linear velocities, Lag T is the lag time, and offset x,y is a vector of the calculated horizontal and vertical image offsets.
