Abstract

The integration time limits the performance of CCD imaging-system, especially when it is used in MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles), so it is important to regulate the integration time of CCD in order to improve the quality ofmoving images when MAVs is flying. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between image smear and the flying status of MAVs, and the degradation of the image quality caused by the variety of the integration time of CCD. We have proposed a method to ascertain the integration time of CCD imaging-system on the basis of analyzing the relationship between the integration time and the quality of moving images, and constructed a kind of experiment system to validate the method. The experiment result indicates that the method is valid for ascertaining the integration time of micro CCD imaging-system used in MAVs.
