  • The modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is an important evaluation index for remote sensing cameras, but at present, the research on the dynamic MTF characteristics of digital domain TDI CMOS cameras is very limited. In order to deeply research its image quality degradation mechanism, combined with the principle of digital domain Time Delay Integration Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (TDI CMOS) imaging, a mathematical model of digital domain TDI imaging MTF degradation caused by pixel, electronic shutters, exposure time and vibration is established. Combined with the derived model, the prediction analysis and experimental verification are carried out. The results show that the regional distribution of effective pixels of the sensor will affect the image MTF with a greater intluence from smaller opening rates, and the rolling shutter of the CMOS sensor will lead to the decrease of the digital domain TDI imaging MTF with a more serious impact for slower rolling shutter speeds. When the rolling shutter speed changes from 6 μs to 10 μs, the corresponding image MTF decreases from 0.191 to 0.177. As the exposure time shortens, the MTF grows higher, especially when there is low-frequency image shift mismatch. When the exposure time is reduced from 180 μs to 100 μs, the MTF increases from 0.126 to 0.155 with some influence on the image signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, the exposure time should be reasonably controlled in practical applications.
