Abstract
Some embodiments provide enhanced resolution imaging systems. These systems comprise: a mounting configured to secure with a vehicle; an electro-optical image capture system configured to sequentially obtain a series of frames per second; and a first jitter compensation system comprising: an angular velocity sensor system to detect velocity of change of line of sight angular displacement of the image capture system; and an image capture control circuit is configured to: receive, in real-time, angular velocity data from the angular velocity sensor system; identify, during the frame, when an angular velocity is less than an angular velocity threshold; and activate, during the frame, exposure of the image capture system to illumination for at least one of: at least a minimum integration period of time during the frame, and while the angular velocity is less than the angular velocity threshold during the frame.
