Analysis of the influence of vibrations on the imaging quality of an integrated TDICCD aerial camera.

ABSTRACT

Taking the area CCD optical system as a whole, the analysis methods of the influence of vibrations on its imaging quality have been relatively mature. However, external vibrations will cause different vibrations of optical components inside the opto-mechanical structure. The existing methods are not suitable for analyzing optical components with different vibrations and TDICCD imaging. This paper studies the influence of vibrations on the imaging quality of the integrated TDICCD aerial camera. The relationship between the vibration responses of structures and the imaging quality is established by mathematical models. First, a vibration beam trajectory model of the integrated TDICCD aerial camera is established for the first time using geometric optics and ray tracing. The deviations of the optical axis caused by vibrations in the object plane can be obtained. Then, this paper establishes a TDICCD vibration modulation transfer function model based on statistical moments. The vibration MTF of pixels of each column in the complex two-dimensional moving image captured by the TDICCD can be obtained through this model. Furthermore, a simulation imaging model of the integrated TDICCD aerial camera is established. The influence of vibrations on the imaging quality can be directly obtained through images. Finally, the accuracy of the models established in this paper is verified by multiple tests. The results show that the imaging quality of the integrated TDICCD aerial camera decreases rapidly with the increase of the acceleration excitation.
