Optomechanical design of a low-cost CCD-based camera

摘要

Low-cost CCD-based cameras offer several cost and performance advantages for remote sensing applications. The optomechanical design of such cameras is inherently simple because zoom, gain and yaw corrections can be performed electronically, thereby, requiring no moving parts or mechanisms. This paper presents the optomechanical design and the results of structural and thermal analyses for a low-cost camera consisting of only three major parts: lens, electronics and camera housing.
