Image stabilization technology based on inertial sensors and piezoelectric fast pendulum mirrors

Aiming at the interferences caused by vibrations on the target monitoring system of satellite platforms, an experimental system of optical–mechanical–electrical joint image stabilization based on inertial sensors and piezoelectric fast mirrors was studied. First of all, the data from the fiber optic gyroscope and the detector are combined and processed. After that, the predicted intentional velocity is subtracted from the real-time gyroscope data, and the vibration displacement is obtained using an integral. The feedback amount is calculated using the processor according to the vibration displacement, the piezoelectric fast mirror is controlled to compensate the vibration interferences, and the purpose of stabilizing the images is achieved. The experimental results show that under a vibration interference of 300μrad/s, the image stabilization control frequency of the system reaches 500 Hz, the relative error between image frames is better than 3μrad, and the intra-frame stabilization performance of the detector meets the requirements on stabilized image and target detection for space targets on the star-carrying platform.
