OPTOELECTRONIC MONITORING AND RECORDING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: instruments. SUBSTANCE: device has optical system, unit of photodetectors and device for device control and for recording of received information. Optical system is designed as long-focus wide-angle lens with spherical image surface. Sensitive surface of photodetectors are located over focal plane of lens. Central area of vision field of lens has photodetectors for taking pictures in multiple zones. Central plane that runs through central arc where photodetectors and optical center are located is perpendicular to direction of aircraft motion. Sides of fields on both sides of central arc in parallel planes have arcs that are intended for taking convergent picture. Each arc provides angle exposition which is determined by its position. Carrying frame is mounted for movement around optical center of lens without adjustment of photodetectors. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 2 cl, 2 dwg
