Patent

CA 2513505

Methods and apparatuses for stabilizing payloads, including airborne cameras, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus employs a gimbal system in which the camera is mounted, together with suitable motors for pointing the camera by actuating this gimbal system and suitable sensors for deriving a signal to drive these gimbal motors. The gimbal axes can be arranged in a sequence that can provide for camera stabilization while reducing complexity, avoiding gimbal lock, increasing redundancy and enhancing performance.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils de stabilisation de charges utiles notamment des caméras embarquées. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'appareil utilise un système de cardans, dans lequel est montée la caméra, avec des moteurs appropriés permettant d'orienter la caméra par actionnement du système de cardans, ainsi que des détecteurs appropriés destinés à dériver un signal afin d'entraîner ces moteurs à cardans. Les axes des cardans peuvent être agencés en une séquence permettant d'assurer la stabilisation de caméras tout en réduisant la complexité, évitant le verrouillage du cardan, augmentant la redondance et améliorant le fonctionnement.
