Abstract

This paper discusses how the separate components of an aerial-photography system affect the image quality. Techniques are presented for determining the requirements on the accuracy with which the speed of aerial-photography film is stabilized, starting from the allowable image contrast and the determination of the modulation-transfer function of the image displacement from a transient process.
