Usage-characteristics of the airborne remote sensing system developed at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering

The development of an airborne remote sensing system at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering started in 1998, as support to postgraduate study. The system is intended for the airborne acquisition of data on urban traffic dynamic characteristics, for the acquisition of data on the bottleneck phenomenon in road traffic, for determining the status of vegetation and forests, and for sensing of mine polluted areas. The aircraft Cessna 172R is used as the platform for the gimbal on which more, mutually different sensors can be placed. The characteristics of the Sharp View Cam VL-H420S as the sensor are considered here. The static spatial resolution of the camcorder is determined by means of test bars. Further, the effects of platform disturbance and vibration on the aerial images are considered.
