But there is one problem. The formula 2 for exemple assumes the
knowledge of the angular speed over the sampling period. To make
the formula practicable, one need a prediction of h(t). If we
knew the future, we could compute the right moment to get
equidistant image lines. This is possible by using the well
known Kalman-FiIter, a linear filter algorithm. It bases on a
model of the airplane motion and contains determinist and
stochastic contributions. /2/ The so called Euler-Equations
describe the rotation of a rigid body. They are nonlinear coupled
determinist equations.

First experimental test data (see also /1/) show an
autocorrelation function with time constants of about 10 times of
the normal sampling period. This allows the construction of a
simple bandlimited model:

The stochastic model contains 6 Parameters and ^t which can be
found by experimental data analysis. They are related with three
cut-off frequencies and the three standard deviations of the
torques. But there are some problems beacause of the nonlinearity
of the Euler-Equations and the nonlinear relations between the
