Abstract 
To get experiences for the application of electro-opti 
cal imaging scanners in remote sensing an experimental 
airborne image aquisition and recording system was 
developed. 
The stored data are the basis for methodical researches 
carried out for thematic use in close cooperation with 
other institutions. 
This paper describes the construction and function of 
the experimental airborne image recorder, the methods of 
data processing and comments the results of the flight 
experiments done in the years 1989 and 1990. 
The airborne image recorder consists of the following 
units: 
- a scanner for the thermal infrared range, 
- a CCD area array camera (camcorder) for the visible 
spectral range, 
- a PC for data-preprocessing, real-time representations 
on a grafic display and a mass memory storage. 
The flight-experiments were realized with the aircraft 
L410 UVP of the INTERFLUG. 
The final'image processing for geometrical correction 
and image improving is done with the help of special 
algorithms.
