Abstract
In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: determining a target in a line of sight of an imaging device mounted to an aircraft; acquiring a plurality of images from the imaging device while steering the aircraft through a trajectory about the target; determining a mapping of a fixed reference feature in the plurality of images; and determining an error in an orientation of the imaging device based upon the mapping of the fixed reference feature.
