The invention discloses a scanning galvanometer control system for area array infrared wide-area imaging. The scanning galvanometer control system comprises an interface module, a control module, a drive module and an interface unit. All the modules are integrated in an area array thermal imager. The interface module obtains an instruction of the control end of a wide-area imaging system through two paths of data lines and converts the instruction into parallel data to be sent to the control module. The control module analyzes the instruction and can further independently solve encoder and gyroscope information to obtain angle compensation information. The drive module is connected with the control module to drive a single-shaft galvanometer or a double-shaft galvanometer to conduct scanning motion. According to the scanning galvanometer control system for area array infrared wide-area imaging, the imaging blurring problem caused by motion of the area array thermal imager in area arrayinfrared wide-area imaging systems for weekly scanning, reciprocating scanning or two-dimensional scanning and the like is solved, the motion in integral imaging of an area array detector can be compensated by adopting the technical scheme, thus clear imaging is achieved when the thermal imager makes motion, and then clear wide-area images are spliced in the imaging system.
