This work is a continuation of the authors’ previous publications, in which the restoration of images obtained with a horizontally rotating camera was considered. In this paper, a mathematical model is constructed for reconstructing blurred images obtained with a camera rotating in the horizontal plane and having its optical axis tilted at an angle to the horizon. The method of image restoration involves constructing a strip of spherical panorama from the original images. Results of numerical experiments that confirm the good quality of the presented image recovery method and the high performance of the developed algorithm are presented.
