Improve Your Sensor Image With Balance

August 12, 2020

This paper reviews the properties which inherently limit the image quality of a gimbal mounted optical imaging system. It further describes how image quality is degraded by external influences, particularly vibration, in the supporting vehicle. The primary emphasis is to quantify, through physical principals, and verify, through experimental demonstration, the degree of static balance required […]
