I'd be happy to keep this things on topic but in this case you can blame kerry.

I would think real time would be the purpose. Im thinking this craft is an artifact of a competition the military had a while back for micro UAV's. the algorythm wouldnt be too bad, I would think you could do a pixel comparison with a shift of the image and still get fairly good frame rate. it would of course be a very wide angle, if you want to look at a certain image then frame rate would be the same as the spin rate

actually as I read this it would be even simpler, just snapshot at the spin rate and do a simpler shift comparison. they could point it by just moving the snapshot point in the software
