Design and analysis of push-broom optical camera's following windows

In order to solve the problem of push-broom optical camera's imagery quality difficult to content request which windows size is too large, the author proposed a kind of project for camera's following windows. The author analysed the characteristic of the push-broom optical camera's windows, and proposed the ideal model of the push-broom optical camera's windows. Simultaneously, analyzed the transformational rule of the windows' location and size in the ideal condition. The author proposed the design project of the push-broom optical camera's following windows according to the result of the ideal windows' analysis, and performed an analysis of kinematics simultaneously. Finally, the author designed and analyzed kinematics for the following windows in allusion to a certain push-broom optical camera. According the analysis result, this project could decrease a half size of the light opening area compare with the current technique. It could decrease the stray light's influence of the camera's imagery quality, the following windows move smoothly, and this project could be satisfied to the requirements of engineering use. © 2017 SPIE.
