Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents the design of an airborne DMD-based dual-path multi-target imaging spectrometer that is capable of achieving instantaneous imaging over a two-dimensional large field of view and the simultaneous spectral analysis of thousands of targets. It also offers advantages such as high spatial resolution, high spectral resolution, high timeliness, and low platform requirements. However, its working mechanism inherently causes misalignment errors in the dual-path images that it obtains due to exposure time differences. To address this issue, we propose a dual-path exposure time difference compensation method based on a velocity vector field model, enabling dynamic and precise matching of the dual paths. For target image points that move beyond the field of view, we propose an attitude compensation method based on optimal angular velocity coordination. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the maximum root mean square error of the compensation method across the entire field of view is 0.9792 pixels in the x-direction and 0.7130 pixels in the y-direction. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, which meets the requirements for practical applications and provides a reliable foundation for the real-world implementation of dual-path multi-target imaging spectrometers.
