In order to reduce the influence of scroll and pitch movements on the image quality of a TDICCD space camera,the requirements for the scopes of scroll angle and pitch angle and their control errors are put forward to obtain an image with high signal noise ratios and high resolution. According to the mechanism of camera image motion,the image motion caused by the scroll and pitch of aerocraft and the formula for calculating the image motion are given. The image quality is evaluated by the Modulation Transform Function(MTF),and the scopes of scroll angle and pitch angle that can meet the requirements of the space camera image quality are determined. Furthermore,the influence of the scroll angle and pitch angle on the ground pixel resolution is analyzed. From calculations,it is concluded that,when the control error of scroll angle and pitch angle is 0.1° during the imaging and the angle of axis of sight caused by the scroll angle and pitch angle is no more than 4.8°;or the control error of scroll angle and pitch angle is 0.05° and the angle of axis of sight is no more than 9.5°,the requirements of the integration progression is 96 and the MTF is no less than 0.95 can be met. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is simple and easy to implement,which is suitable for the research on image quality of the TDICCD space camera.
