In order to explore the application of bionic compound eyes in the field of target positioning,we have studied the spatial target positioning method of the Tian-shaped four-aperture infrared biomimetic compound eyes imaging system with partially overlapping field of view. Based on the spatial distribution relationship of the four sub apertures,the imaging process of the Tian-shaped four-eye stereo vision was analyzed,and the conversion relationship between each sub aperture and the world coordinate system was derived. We have proposed the spatial target positioning method of the four-aperture infrared biomimetic compound eyes and an inverse imaging optical path positioning method under multiple apertures con-straints. The coordinates of the target points to be located were calculated using the interleaving method and the point-direction method;By calibrating the existing four-aperture infrared biomimetic compound eyes experimental system,the relative poses of the four apertures were determined,and then we have con-ducted spatial target positioning experiments on the four-aperture system and some binocular subsystems. The results show that under similar aperture spatial distribution,the positioning error of Tian-shaped four-aperture for targets at a distance of 2720 mm is 40 mm,and the error of binocular positioning is 76 mm. Compared to binocular positioning,the error of four-aperture is reduced by about twice,which can more accurately locate the target. The positioning error at 1750 mm does not exceed 2%,and the accuracy of horizontal positioning is higher than vertical direction.
