A method for calibrating the target
pointing error of a multimode composite tracking and aiming
system includes: (1) setting up an
autocollimator in front of the multimode optical
system and the
field of view of the visible light camera, calibrating the multimode optical
system and marking the zero point of the visible light camera; (2) placing a target at the maximum measurement distance of the multimode optical system and marking the position of the camera zero point in the target target; then rotating the
azimuth and
pitch axes of the high-precision turntable to zero, reading the imaging position of the
laser emission point, and recording the system deviation of the target pointing; (3) controlling the
azimuth and
pitch axes of the high-precision turntable to swing to different angles, and measuring the deviation value between the tracking point of the visible light camera and the imaging position of the target
laser illumination point; (4) substituting the measured value into the error calculation formula including the mirror installation deviation to form a multivariate equation system, solving for the mirror
installation error of the multimode composite tracking and aiming system, and then combining the swing angles of the
azimuth and
pitch axes of the high-precision turntable to calculate the corresponding deviation value. The method of this invention can accurately calibrate the target
pointing error of the multimode composite tracking and aiming system.
