Step Frame Onboard Remote Sensing Electro-Optical System Pixel Level Forward Motion Compensation Computer Model (SF-ORSEOS PL-FMC-CM)

Step Frame Onboard Remote Sensing ElectroOptical Systems (SF-ORSEOS) have a major contribution to aerial photography. The SF-ORSEOS Field of View (FOV) is stepped across the flight track to observe a large area while the Forward Motion Compensation (FMC) is performed electronically in Focal Plane Arrays (FPA) to avoid imaging smearing during scene acquisition. The compatibility of the SF-ORSEOS parameters is challenging as it guarantees the most reliable construction of the SF-ORSEOS acquisition head (lens, FPA, ReadOut Integrated Circuit ROIC) that maintains the quality of the acquired information. In this paper, SFORSEOS-Pixel Level - Fast Motion Compensation -Computer Model (SF-ORSEOSPL-FMC-CM) is developed, based on pixel-level Spatio-temporal resolution with considering the flying velocity, flight height, observation looking angle, the overlap of the successive frames, lens and FPA parameters and characteristics. The major contribution of the SF-ORSEOS PL-FMC-CM appears in its facilitation of both the selection and design of the ROIC according to a predetermined custom user requirements. Moreover, it provides quantitative visual tools to predict the system behavior.
