Distortion correction based on off-axis Schwarzschild two-mirror hyperspectral imager

A new method of distortion correction based on the off-axis Schwarzschild two-mirror hyperspectral imager is proposed in this paper. The polynomial model is used to indicate the distortion in the pushbroom direction and the correction method is based on linear feature. The radial distortion model is used to indicate the vertical pushbroom direction of distortion and the correction method is based on the cross ratio invariance. Compared with the common precision angle measurement method, this method is simple and efficient. This method can be applied to the distortion correction of the non-mapping pushbroom hyperspectral imager.
