Description

On-orbit automatic calibration method for visible short wave infrared camera
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of on-orbit calibration, in particular to an on-orbit automatic calibration method for a visible short wave infrared camera.
Background
After the satellite is launched and put into orbit, the camera needs to receive a working instruction sent by the satellite to start the corresponding function. Camera on-track calibration is generally divided into links such as dark background measurement, internal light source calibration, sun calibration (including solar spectrum calibration and radiometric calibration) and the like, and in order to avoid introducing the influence of sun or earth-atmosphere stray light, the dark background measurement and the internal light source calibration need to be carried out in a shadow region; when the satellite just comes out of shadow, solar rays penetrate through the atmosphere and enter the visible short wave infrared camera, and solar spectrum calibration can be carried out; with the on-orbit operation of the satellite, the solar rays are converted into direct incidence inside the visible short-wave infrared camera, the solar radiation energy is not absorbed and influenced by atmospheric components, and the solar radiation calibration can be carried out. Therefore, the solar calibration preparation is completed before the shadow is made, otherwise it is likely that the effective solar calibration period will be missed. In order to complete the on-orbit calibration of the camera orderly and on time, the ground station is required to calculate the triggering time and related instructions of each link respectively and inject the triggering time and related instructions into the satellite digital tube computer in advance. The on-orbit calibration task fails due to the fact that the triggering time calculation deviation of each link is large or related instructions are sent wrongly; if the satellite has the function of 'one key' starting the camera to calibrate in orbit, each calibration link can be completed quickly and error-free, and calibration data can be obtained accurately on time.
Through the literature search of the prior art, the chinese invention patent 201611192370.5 discloses the following contents: the on-orbit geometric calibration of the satellite is a key link for realizing high-precision geometric positioning of the optical remote sensing satellite, and directly influences the internal and external geometric precision of the satellite image. Although the satellite is strictly calibrated in a laboratory before being launched, the geometric imaging parameters of the satellite are changed due to the influences of factors such as vibration in the launching process, material deflation, change of imaging conditions during in-orbit running, aging of devices and the like, and the ground calibration value cannot meet the requirement of high-precision geometric processing, so that in-orbit calibration of the satellite is required. In order to ensure that the external positioning precision, the internal geometric precision, the fusion precision and the waveband registration precision of an image product are provided for a user, the technical problem of high-precision on-orbit geometric calibration of a high-orbit area array camera needs to be solved urgently. However, the prior art does not give corresponding technical disclosure for the on-orbit automatic calibration method by using the visible short wave infrared camera.
