The application discloses a small
cloud detection and identification camera and
satellite, and relates to optical measurement and
metrology. The application comprises a lens group, a pre-filter arranged on the image side of the lens group, the pre-filter being a double-channel narrow-pass filter, a color
detector arranged on the other side of the pre-filter, the color
detector being a surface array imaging
detector adopting a Bayer filter, a
processing circuit in communication connection with the color detector, used for receiving detection data of the color detector and performing
image identification, and a support structure provided with an inner cavity matched with the support structure, the lens group, the pre-filter, the color detector and the
processing circuit, wherein the lens group, the pre-filter, the color detector and the
processing circuit are arranged in the inner cavity, so that the problem that the existing cloud judgment method and load cannot completely meet the on-
orbit use requirement of high-resolution
remote sensing imaging satellites is solved.
