摘要: 为了提高航空遥感相机的摄影分辨率,获得高分辨率的航空图像,除了采用具有高传递函数的光学系统和高质量成像介质外,还要正确控制快门的曝光时间,以保证探测器能够获得合适的像移量。本文基于一种航空测绘相机镜间快门的结构形式及工作原理,以笛卡尔理论为基础,通过坐标变换方法,建立地面目标和影像之间的矩阵关系,从而确定快门曝光时间和像移量的关系,接着,结合相机速高比、像元尺寸等参数,对像移量及像移残差进行分析。根据相机的不同安装方式,以像移残差为1/3像元尺寸为标准,判定成像系统是否加入像移补偿机构,为相机设计提供理论依据。通过静态测试及飞行试验对分析进行验证。试验结果表明,相机分辨力达到36.8 lp/mm,航拍图像良好,满足指标要求。Abstract: In order to improve the photographic resolution of aerial remote sensing cameras and obtain high-resolution aerial images, besides optical system with high modulation transfer function and high-quality imaging medium, the exposure time of shutter should be controlled correctly to ensure that the detector can obtain an appropriate image motion value. Based on the structure and working principle of the lens shutter of an aerial mapping camera, we establish the matrix relationship between the ground object and the image through coordinate transformation method, that is, the relationship between the exposure time of the shutter and the image motion value is determined. The image motion value and residual error of the image motion are analyzed by combining the parameters of the camera speed-height ratio and the pixel size. According to the different installation modes of the aerial camera, when the residual error of the image motion value is more than 1/3 of a pixel in size, the Image Motion Compensation (IMC) mechanism is necessary to the imaging system. Thus a theoretical basis for the design of the IMC mechanism in an aerial camera is provided. The analysis is validated by a static test and flight test. The test results show that the aerial camera clearly captures images and the spatial resolution of its images reaches 36.8 lp/mm, which meets the requirements of our technical index.
