Abstract

Panoramic camera´s characteristics are large field of view, large field of depth, small volume, light weight and good seismic performance. It is widely used in aerial reconnaissance, topographic mapping and other fields. The ZEMAX software is used to research the panoramic camera lens. The lens system of the ordinary optical materials are discussed and analyzed. To explore the system structure with better image quality, the modulation transfer function of the lens system is adjusted, the radius of the surface, the thickness of lens and the air gap are optimized. The pros and cons of image quality are analyzed by the aberration curve.
