Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to make up for the defects of the prior art and provides an in-orbit optical satellite camera MTF measuring method based on a convex reflector.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:

(1) calibration of the sun: adjusting the positions of the convex lenses through the observation holes of the solar observers on the convex reflectors to make the central normal lines of the mirror surfaces of the convex reflectors consistent with the sun rays, and taking down the solar observers after the adjustment is finished; the tracking setting of the sun is keyed in by operating the handbook with the electric theodolite;
(2) satellite calibration: inputting satellite parameters (the time, the zenith angle and the azimuth angle of the satellite passing through the sky above the city) of the satellite camera to be detected in the operation handbook;
(3) the GPS and the calculation software arranged in each electric theodolite automatically measure the position of the sun, calculate the azimuth angle and the pitch angle of the convex reflector at the moment when the satellite passes through the sky in the city, and drive the convex reflector to automatically rotate to a proper angle at the preset moment, so that the sunlight incident to the convex reflector array is reflected to an optical satellite camera on the satellite to finish imaging.
(4) And sending the imaged image back to the ground for detection and analysis to finish the detection of MTF of the optical satellite camera.
The built-in GPS and calculation software of the electric theodolite can be used for automatically measuring the time and the place of the sun and calculating and controlling the azimuth and the pitching rotation angle of the convex reflector.
According to the requirement that the optical satellite camera receives proper luminous flux, the energy reflected by the convex reflector to the entrance pupil of the satellite camera is matched with the energy reflected by the ideal lambertian ground surface of the solar illumination to the entrance pupil of the satellite camera in the ground sampling interval, and the luminous flux received by the optical satellite camera is close to the high end of the dynamic range of the camera and has the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. In order to meet the requirement of on-track two-dimensional PSF/MTF detection, the convex mirror device is miniaturized and lightened as much as possible and is suitable for field operation. Considering the influence of factors such as orbit prediction precision and light beam pointing error, ground sampling interval (GSD) of an optical satellite camera, a ground object target, a convex reflector of a point light source and the like, the convex reflector is reasonably designed, processed and installed on the device.
The detection principle is as follows:
according to the optical principle and the fourier optics, the imaging relationship of the optical satellite camera for the linear displacement invariant system can be expressed as follows:
(1)
wherein,is the output of the image or images,is an observation target ""is the sign of the convolution operation,is the point spread function of the imaging system.
When the input is a point-laser light source (such as a convex mirror), the imaging relationship of the system can be abbreviated as follows according to the convolution theorem:
(2)
at this time, the output of the system shows the point spread characteristic of the system, and the two-dimensional modulation transfer function representing the space characteristic of the optical satellite camera can be obtained by taking the Fourier transform and the modulus of the system point spread function obtained by detection.
With the continuous improvement of the spatial resolution of an optical satellite camera, a GPS (RTK) measuring system can be used for laying an ideal point target on the ground and directly detecting the two-dimensional spatial characteristic of an imaging system of the optical satellite camera. According to the reflection law of light, the convex reflector can disperse approximately parallel incident sunlight by a certain angle, so that the optical satellite camera can image the sunlight in a large range. The convex reflector is used as a point light source, and the parameters such as PSF/MTF and the like can be directly detected in an on-track way.
The invention has the advantages that:
the method does not need parameters such as gain, radiation responsivity and the like of an optical satellite camera, and has wide practicability. The detection method for the on-track detection MTF of the convex reflector has the advantages of simple structure, miniaturization, light weight and simple and convenient operation, and is suitable for field work.
