Abstract

Due to the complex launch condition, dynamic space environment, and up to 0.1" high-resolution imaging requirements, automatic focus (AF) technology in orbit has become one of the key technologies to obtain high-quality images for high-resolution imaging satellite, especially for the long focal length, large diameter optical remote sensor. This paper analyzes the focusing criterion theory of the smallest image entropy. For high-resolution optical imaging satellites, we have proposed innovatively an AF method based on configuration entropy focusing criterion. Data show that configurational entropy focusing criterion is more suitable for low-contrast celestial observation targets. For diffraction limited focal ratio and space optical remote sensor with F^#=39, focal length detection sensitivity reaches 0.1mm. Configurational entropy focusing technology improves the efficiency of image processing 2^2k times, which dramatically reduces the number of focusing movements. Adaptive AF with high speed and high precision satisfies imaging requirements of low-contrast targets for space exploration.
