Methods for correcting aberrations of images, obtained by an optoelectronic camera with the use of preliminary measured calibration function, provoke wide interest in recent years. For the most part these methods are not characterized by high accuracy and are typically used for cameras with objectives having rather high relative distortion. In this article the method is discussed for measuring distortion of a wide-angle objective for calibration of photoelectric cameras designed to measure angular coordinates of remote objects with the accuracy as high as 10 arcseconds. It is proposed to use an air mirror-wedge as a test object, which allows creating a sheaf of collimated beams. The calibration function of a photoelectric camera is calculated by mathematical post-processing of the recorded frames.The proposed method was experimentally tested for photoelectric cameras with full angular fi elds-of-view of 21 degrees and angular pixel sizes of 20 arcseconds. The subpixel accuracy of determining the calibration function is demonstrated.
