Abstract

Abstract: Optical compound eye has the advantages of large field of view, multiple viewing angles and high resolution. With another advantage that it can conformal combine with small aircraft, optical compound eye has application value in reconnaissance and surveillance, target detection, image navigation and other aspects. An optical compound eye simulation software for small aircraft is designed for the current situation of long development period of optical compound eye design and high cost of flight test in practical applications. The software integrates compound eye imaging, aircraft simulation and data management, and each functional module is extensible. The simulation results show that the frame rate can reach 23.3 fps under the configuration of 9 sub-eyes, and the results are accurate. The software can be used for the optimization of optical compound eye design scheme and the test of processing algorithms, which is of great significance to the development of aircraft application.
