Formosat-8 Focal Plane Assembly (FPA)
Technology Introduction:
The FORMOSAT-8 focal plane assembly is the core imaging component of the satellite payload. Using linear time delay integration image sensor technology, it provides one panchromatic and six multispectral bands with 1-meter and 2-meter image resolution. Dual panchromatic channels with a half-pixel offset and ground image reconstruction further enhance the effective resolution to approximately 0.7-meter sub-meter imagery.
Industrial Applications:
The developed high-resolution linear TDI imaging technology can be applied to low-light automated optical inspection, wafer inspection, panel inspection, and smart manufacturing. The technology improves image quality and defect detection capability for high-speed inspection applications, providing strong potential for advanced industrial imaging and precision measurement systems.
