Abstract

The influences of atmospheric turbulence on image resolution of space-borne optical remote sensing system are discussed. The coherence length of wavefront r₀ and the variance of angle-of-arrival fluctuation σ²_α of sensing system are the main basis to evaluate the atmospheric influence on image resolution. In this paper, different atmospheric turbulence models are chose to calculate r₀ and σ²_α in order to analyze the influence of atmospheric turbulence, and the results show that the influence of atmospheric turbulence should be weak and in most cases could be ignored for space-borne optical sensing system.
