Abstract
Aerial cameras are widely used in a number of fields. Various mechanical errors cannot be ignored with the improvement of imaging quality requirements. This paper introduces an integrated time delay integration charge coupled device (TDICCD) aerial camera. Compared with traditional aerial cameras, it can significantly improve shooting efficiency and imaging quality under similar load conditions. This paper first analyzes mechanical errors of the integrated TDICCD aerial camera and establishes a pointing error model based on ray tracing, then performs model parameter identification using a genetic algorithm, and completes error compensation. Finally, test results demonstrate that the compensation of the pointing error can effectively improve pointing accuracy of the optical axis. The mean of comprehensive errors was reduced by an order of magnitude, and the variance of comprehensive errors was reduced from $1.0075 \;{({{\rm mm}})^2}$ to $0.0543 \;{({{\rm mm}})^2}$.
