However, achieving such a calibration without temporal and spatial limitations remains a crucial but unresolved issue to date. The accuracy of IOP calibration methods of a remote sensing camera determines the performance of image positioning. In this paper, we propose a high-accuracy self-calibration method without temporal and spatial limitations for remote sensing cameras. Our method is based on an auto-collimating dichroic filter combined with a surface micromachining (SM) point-source focal plane. The proposed method can autonomously complete IOP calibration without the need of outside reference targets. The SM procedure is used to manufacture a light transceiver focal plane, which integrates with point sources, a splitter, and a complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensor. A dichroic filter is used to fabricate an auto-collimation light reflection element. The dichroic filter, splitter, and SM point-source focal plane are integrated into a camera to perform an integrated self-calibration. Experimental measurements confirm the effectiveness and convenience of the proposed method. Moreover, the method can achieve micrometer-level precision and can satisfactorily complete real-time calibration without temporal or spatial limitations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8110893","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,31]],"date-time":"2016-10-31T11:09:46Z","timestamp":1477912186000},"page":"893","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Self-Calibration Method Based on Surface Micromaching of Light Transceiver Focal Plane for Optical Camera"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3581-2933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Precision Instrument, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Micro\/Nano Fabrication, Device and System, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Photonics and Sensors Group, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, 9 JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA, UK"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chuangchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130033, China"}]},{"given":"Si","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Information Technology, University of New South Wales, Canberra 2610, Australia"}]},{"given":"ZhengJun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Precision Instrument, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Micro\/Nano Fabrication, Device and System, Beijing 100084, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actaastro.2007.01.033","article-title":"The EnMAP hyperspectral imager\u2014An advanced optical payload for future applications in Earth Observation programmes","volume":"61","author":"Stuffler","year":"2007","journal-title":"Acta Astronaut."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1080\/07038992.1997.10855214","article-title":"A status overview of earth observation calibration\/validation for terrestrial applications","volume":"23","author":"Teillet","year":"1997","journal-title":"Can.
