To obtain higher navigation accuracy of skylight polarization, the polarization model for skylight was researched. An automatic detecting system of skylight polarized pattern was designed to get a large number of images to build an accurate model of skylight. The system overcomes the complex operation and the low efficiency from traditional detecting systems. It integrates a camera and the control system of precision rotating platform in an acquisition system to acquire the polarized images rapidly and easily in a key gathering a group of images. The test indicates that the acquisition system can get all of images in the angle that we expect, and can obtain images with a clear polarized pattern. Furthermore, the detecting accuracy is better than 0.237 5(3σ) gray level (8 bits) for light intensity and average time-consuming is 3.02 s for every measuring point. These results demonstrate that the system has higher detecting efficiency and can execute an efficient detection of skylight polarized pattern.
