Fie.7 The image of Ea.(19).
First, we analyze the case that the satellite
has attitude fluctuation around the roll axis.
Here we approximate that it is 4.0 [4 rad / 7 »].
This value is about ten times larger than the
actual attitude fluctuation value. Fig.8(a) shows
an CCD output image fluctuated around the roll
axis. From this figure, the influence of attitude
fluctuation and disturbance by noise obviously
observed. Here we apply the TDI method at
eight. Fig.8(b) and 8(c) show TDI output images
with and without correction respectively.
Then we analyze the second case that the
satellite has both the attitude fluctuation
around roll and pitch axis, and show simulation
results in Fig.9. From this figure, it is obvious
that the proposed correction method can
improve the output image S/N under roll and
pitch axis fluctuation condition.
In TDI method, the influence of the satellite's
attitude fluctuation increases with the number
of integration (i.e. the number of CCD array).
Fig.9 shows the relationships between S/N
improvement and the number of integration.
From this figure, the TDI without correction
method can t acquire S/N improvement ratio
when the integration times exceeds 10.
As compared with this TDI method using
correction of attitude fluctuation can acquire
the same S/N improvement as it when satellite
has no attitude fluctuation. Fig.10 and 11 show
TDI at thirty-two and sixty-four times.
Fig.12(a) shows the level of an output of CCD.
Fig.12(b) and (c) show levels of output of TDI
without correction the attitude fluctuation and
TDI with correction the attitude fluctuation at
thirty-two times. Fig.12(d) and (e) show the
profile of outputs of TDI without correction and
with correction the attitude fluctuation at
sixty-four times. Fig.13 shows the profile of the
simulated images

Fig.12 The level of image.
From Fig.12, it is clear that high-frequency
components of the image are improved by
correcting the attitude fluctuation.
The relationship between S/N improvement and
integration times when attitude fluctuation of
roll axis is 4.0[ 4 rad / * »] is shown in Fig.13(a)
