The invention relates to an optical
system installation and adjustment technology, and provides an installation and adjustment method of a multi-path imaging
system in order to solve the problems that an existing installation and adjustment method is large in error, low in precision, inconsistent in resolution ratio and the like, and the installation and adjustment method comprises the steps that the multi-path imaging
system is preliminarily built according to theoretical parameters of system design; the attitude of a transmitting end
primary mirror is determined through a first
theodolite, a small-
caliber plane mirror and a large-
caliber plane mirror, and the spatial position of a transmitting end
secondary mirror is adjusted through a second
theodolite and a cross wire
reticle, so that an image of the cross wire
reticle sequentially passes through the transmitting end
primary mirror and the transmitting end
secondary mirror and then coincides with the center of the second
theodolite; determining the spatial positions of the slit and the
light source, and completing the light path adjustment of the transmitting end; a receiving end light path is adjusted according to the transmitting end light path adjusting step, then a resolution plate is installed between the transmitting end light path and the receiving end light path, the spatial position of an
imaging lens is adjusted, a plurality of imaging cameras all capture the clearest image of the resolution plate, and installation and adjustment of the multi-path imaging system are completed.
