Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photoelectric detection technology, and relates to a photoelectric detection device combined with a gyroscope reflector stabilization device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Imaging devices such as infrared detectors and televisions are mounted on moving platforms such as aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and missiles. During the sensor's integration period, due to various interferences, the movement of the line of sight may exceed the sensor's resolution, resulting in blurred images. In engineering applications, stabilization control systems are frequently designed to keep the line of sight stable in inertial space. Mirror stabilization is a common stabilization method for photoelectric detection equipment. It is a two-axis, two-frame configuration where the mirror is mounted on the elevation frame, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, the gyroscope is set to measure the angular velocity of the line-of-sight inertial space. The motor control quantity is calculated through a stability control algorithm, and the motor drives the reflector to compensate for angular velocity disturbances, thereby achieving stability of the line-of-sight inertial space.

[0003] According to the law of reflection, the rotation angle of the line of sight is twice the rotation angle of the mirror. Installing a gyroscope at the mirror and stabilizing the mirror in inertial space cannot stabilize the line of sight because the gyroscope's sensitive quantity is the inertial angular velocity of the mirror, not the inertial angular velocity of the line of sight. The three-axis gyroscope can be mounted on the mirror frame, azimuth frame, or base, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, by combining the frame angular velocity and using mathematical calculations, the line-of-sight inertial angular velocity can be obtained. This system, with angle measuring elements on both axes and both frames, allows for real-time acquisition of angle values ​​fed back from these elements. By performing velocity differential calculations, the frame angular velocity can be obtained.

[0004] However, this stabilization method places high demands on the angular accuracy of the frame's angle measuring elements. Currently, the angle measuring elements installed in photoelectric detection equipment are generally smaller than 300mm. Small-sized angle measuring elements have relatively low angular accuracy (greater than 30 arcseconds), resulting in significant noise in differential velocimetry and low accuracy in calculating the line-of-sight inertial angular velocity, which cannot meet the requirements for high-precision stability. High-precision angle measuring elements larger than 500mm cannot be used in photoelectric detection equipment. Summary of the Invention
