Toulouse, France-based aerial work specialist AeroVision is further developing its proprietary aerial cinematography system, which Airbus uses exclusively for in-flight images. The camera system is mounted on a modified Aerospatiale Corvette.
“We are working on an evolution of the optical part of the system,” founder and managing director Patrick Piallat told AIN. The idea is to enhance the system’s motion picture capabilities to better meet the needs of movie producers. The improvements rely on multiple layers. First, highly accurate navigation devices such as differential GPS allow an airplane to fly a given flightpath several times with great precision. Meanwhile, AeroVision is now able to record camera movements, which allows the system to superimpose several objects on the same image. The result is that all objects appear sharp on the final image, even though these objects are at various distances, which is beneficial to movie producers.
