Abstract

In modern life, it is necessary to image certain targets under low-light conditions such as dark night or morning dusk, and low-light night vision technology is one of the main technologies to expand the night visual perception of the human eye, and low-light remote sensing camera can greatly expand the effective working time range of various spacecraft, so that it can observe, report and warn ground emergencies in a wider period of time. The FPGA-driven scientific-grade CMOS image sensor realizes the imaging function of the low-light camera, and realizes the real-time digital TDI function and automatic exposure algorithm on the FPGA. The results of the exterior imaging experiment show that the contours of buildings, street lamps, trees and wires near the light source can be distinguished under the condition of low-light illumination, and the imaging effect of the low-light camera reaches the index.
