  • Publication number: 20200371373
    Abstract: A Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) of a remote sensing satellite for receiving a focal plane image provided by an optical lens, comprises a sub-pixel shifting field separator, a first linear image sensor, and a second linear image sensor. The field separator split the focal plane image up into a first half focal plane image and a second half focal plane image, the first linear image sensor, located at an edge of a half focal plane, receives the first half focal plane image to generate a first image, the second linear image sensor, located at an edge of another half focal plane, receives the second half focal plane image to generate a second image, wherein a sub-pixel shifting relation is between the first image and the second image.

  • Patent number: 10832054
    Abstract: A guidance seeking device for a satellite and a method of enhancing the performance of the same. The device includes a seeking device, at least one image-capturing device and a processing device. The seeking device and the at least one image-capturing device are for capturing an image to produce an image data. The processing device is configured to analyze the image data to determine a target and/or an obstacle therein, to produce an image-capturing path according to the target and/or the obstacle in the image data, and to produce a control signal to control the at least one image-capturing device to capture an image corresponding to one part of the image-capturing path. The method includes a seeking step, an analyzing step, a determination step and a controlling step.
