Well, my thought was to have the camera plane at all times perpendicular to the vertical axis, i.e. a weight mounted on the gimbal somehow. I know that a certain amount of correction can be performed on the images, but I think it is better to have as accurate photos as possible, that are known to be in a direction towards the center of the earth. Even so, there's a correction that needs to be performed to compensate for the distortion by the camera lens. > People are using all sorts of things to do aerial photography, helium > balloons, kites, rc blimps... > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGGaaddpGA8&feature=related Oh, that video is beautiful! :-) Cheers, Morten _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
