The performance characteristics of a satellite imager using a Time Delay and Integration(TDI) Charge Coupled Device (CCD) with fixed integration time is investigated for the variation of satellite altitude and tilt angle. In consequence of the investigation TDI synchronization using tilt imaging is proposed as a solution to compensate geometric performance degradation due to altitude decrease. The tilt angle optimized for the TDI synchronization at decreased altitude is presented. This result can be used for a TDI CCD imager with variable integration time in a certain range as well.

The synchronization of Time Delay and Integration (TDI) against the temporal variation of osculating altitude in the operation of high resolution satellite imager was studied. The characteristics of osculating altitude variation was analyzed and its impact on the performance of TDI imger was also investigated. A practical ]me rate control method was proposed to compensate instantaneous TDI mismatch due to the osculating altitude variation, so that geometrical performance enhancement was achieved by the proposed method. This study is applicable to real satellite operation and can be useful for satellite image quality enhancement.

Time Delay and Integration (TDI) 기법을 사용하는 고해상도 위성 영상기에 있어서 실제 위성 운영시 발생하는 위성 고도의 순간적 변화에 대한 TDI 일치를 연구하였다. 시간에 따라 변하는 순간 고도의 특성을 분석하였고 순간 고도 변화가 TDI 불일치를 초래하여 위성 영상 기기의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. TDI 시간 지연을 조절하여 실제 위성 운영에서 순간적으로 발생하는 TDI 불일치를 보정하고 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 연구하였다. 본 연구 결과는 위성 영상 품질 향상에 활용될 수 있다.

A spherical Earth surface is used fur realistic analysis of the geometrical performance characteristics about the variation of satellite altitude and 2-dimensional line-of-sight(LOS) tilt angle in a satellite imager using Time Delay and Integration(TDI) technique with fixed integration time. In the spherical Earth surface model TDI synchronization using LOS tilt is investigated as a solution to compensate geometric performance degradation due to altitude decrease. This result can be used fur a TDI CCD imager with variable integration time in a certain as well.
