The invention provides a space camera field curvature detection device and method, relating to the field of space optical
remote sensing. The space camera field curvature detection device comprises a heavy-calibre
normal lens, a space camera used for receiving parallel light of the heavy-calibre
normal lens and positioned at the lower end of the heavy-calibre
normal lens, an optical engine, a Z-direction micrometric displacement platform, a
data processing display and
synchronous control system, thirty optical probes and an X-Y-direction micrometric displacement regulating frame, a flat plate and two Z-direction regulating supports, wherein the lower surface of the optical engine is positioned at the focal plane of the heavy-calibre normal lens, the Z-direction micrometric displacement platform is connected with the optical engine, the
data processing display and
synchronous control system is connected with the Z-direction micrometric displacement platform, the thirty optical probes and the XY-direction micrometric displacement regulating frame are connected with the
data processing display and
synchronous control system, the thirty optical probes are distributed on the X-Y-direction micrometric displacement regulating frame in a manner in which three lines and ten rows are arranged, the upper surface of the flat plate is positioned on the focal plane of the space camera, the thirty optical probes are positioned at the lower end of the flat plate, and the two Z-direction regulating supports are respectively fixed at two ends of the flat plate. The space camera field curvature detection device is small in measurement and calculation errors; and according to the space camera field curvature detection device, the detection problem of field curvature of the space camera is effectively solved.
