Cameras

The data set comprises photographs taken on a series of flights around the track of an icebreaker. Each flight normally lasted around 40 minutes and about 480 frames of aerial photographs are shot in this time at 5 second intervals. The interval is chosen to provide some overlap with the preceding frame.
