Gyro-Stabilized Platform for Multispectral<br />

Image Acquisition<br />

Abstract. This article presents design and implementation of a gyro-stabilized<br />

platform for visible light and <strong>in</strong>frared image acquisition. The process of selection<br />

of appropriate vision sensors and their calibration is presented. Additionally there<br />

are presented results of conceptual work, design and construction of the work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

prototype of the device.<br />

1 Introduction<br />

In many technical applications visible light image analysis is <strong>in</strong>sufficient. Often,<br />

obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the necessary <strong>in</strong>formation requires observ<strong>in</strong>g the analyzed objects or the<br />

entire scene <strong>in</strong> a different range of electromagnetic waves. Available imag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

techniques cover the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves. However the most<br />

commonly analyzed are images acquired at visible light or <strong>in</strong>frared spectrum. This<br />

is the result of the unprecedented progress that has been made <strong>in</strong> the construction<br />

of <strong>in</strong>frared sensors <strong>in</strong> recent years. As a result, there is a significant price reduction<br />

of cameras work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the range and thus their greater availability.<br />
