Abstract(in English) In order to provide assistance following a natural disaster, it is necessary to acquire accurate information. Aerial photography can provide such information. We propose a method for quickly acquiring images across the entire area, using a camera with a fish-eye lens and a radio controlled helicopter. However, fish-eye lenses also distort the images and this distortion makes interpretation of the information very difficult. Therefore, to improve interpretation we develop a perspective projection image in real-time. The image also rotates because the airframe isn't stable. A method for removing the rotation of the image and presenting an easily interpreted picture is discussed.
