Description
Summary:The sight of the high-orbit thermal infrared staring camera is concentrated and sensitive to temperature changes, and therefore its image point positioning is key to ensuring the geometric quality of the thermal infrared staring image and eliminating the errors of the imaging system in orbit. According to the geometric imaging characteristics of the high-orbit thermal infrared staring camera, internal and external positioning compensation models are proposed in this paper based on the two-dimensional pointing angle of temperature change, and four kinds of experimental schemes of image point positioning compensation are designed. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper has a good compensation effect on the image point positioning error.
