The automatic and accurate focal length measurement of aviation camera lens is of great significance and practical value. The traditional measurement method depends on the human eye to read the scribed line on the focal plane of parallel light pipe by means of reading microscope. The method is of low efficiency and the measuring results are influenced by artificial factors easily. Our method used linear array solid-state image sensor instead of reading microscope to transfer the imaging size of specific object to be electrical signal pulse width, and used computer to measure the focal length automatically. In the process of measurement, the lens to be tested placed in front of the object lens of parallel light tube. A couple of scribed line on the surface of the parallel light pipe’s focal plane were imaging on the focal plane of the lens to be tested. Placed the linear CCD drive circuit on the image plane, the linear CCD can convert the light intensity distribution of one dimension signal into time series of electrical signals. After converting, a path of electrical signals is directly brought to the video monitor by image acquisition card for optical path adjustment and focusing. The other path of electrical signals is processed to obtain the pulse width corresponding to the scribed line by electrical circuit. The computer processed the pulse width and output focal length measurement result. Practical measurement results showed that the relative error was about 0.10%, which was in good agreement with the theory.

The aerial camera focal plane in the correct position is critical to the imaging quality. In order to adjust the aerial camera focal plane displacement caused in the process of maintenance, a new micro-displacement measuring system of aerial camera focal plane in view of the Michelson interferometer has been designed in this paper, which is based on the phase modulation principle, and uses the interference effect to realize the focal plane of the micro-displacement measurement. The system takes He-Ne laser as the light source, uses the Michelson interference mechanism to produce interference fringes, changes with the motion of the aerial camera focal plane interference fringes periodically, and records the periodicity of the change of the interference fringes to obtain the aerial camera plane displacement; Taking linear CCD and its driving system as the interference fringes picking up tool, relying on the frequency conversion and differentiating system, the system determines the moving direction of the focal plane. After data collecting, filtering, amplifying, threshold comparing, counting, CCD video signals of the interference fringes are sent into the computer processed automatically, and output the focal plane micro displacement results. As a result, the focal plane micro displacement can be measured automatically by this system. This system uses linear CCD as the interference fringes picking up tool, greatly improving the counting accuracy and eliminated the artificial counting error almost, improving the measurement accuracy of the system. The results of the experiments demonstrate that: the aerial camera focal plane displacement measurement accuracy is 0.2nm. While tests in the laboratory and flight show that aerial camera focal plane positioning is accurate and can satisfy the requirement of the aerial camera imaging.
