In the aerial photography using linear array detectors, the variation of aircraft attitude may affect imaging and hence result in image blurring. According to the coordinate transformation formula of aviation projection, the Monte Carlo algorithm is used to analyze the influences of the factors such as exposure time, stabilized platform position residual compensation and angular velocity residual compensation on the imaging quality of linear array cameras. The results show that high performance airborne linear array cameras should be equipped with high performance stabilized platforms. Meanwhile, the linear array detectors with high sensitivity and short exposure time are of significance to the improvement of imaging quality.
