Abstract:
GF-7 stereo mapping satellite launched on November 3, 2019 was equipped with two high-resolution remote sensing cameras “Front camera” and “Back camera”. By the two cameras, the same scene on the ground can be observed from different angles for forming a 3D mapping image. During the development of the stereo mapping camera in the lab, the horizontality of the linear array, field confocal, high-accuracy measurement for elements of interior orientation and distortion should be guaranteed. In order to meet the requirements of the above technical indicators of GF-7 bi-linear array cameras, computer-aided rapid fast adjustment for focal plane and high-precision test for elements of interior orientation and distortion was presented. These methods used in the GF-7 bi-linear array camera improve the efficiency of adjustment and test and guarantee the accuracy of the test results. Finally, confocal plane of each camera is better than ±0.04 mm, horizontality of each linear array is better than ±1′, the accuracy of distortion is better than 2.3 μm. It can provide reference for other large scale mapping camera.
