For easily viewing and operating in The IRST system, it is necessary to montage the 360°panoramic image orderly and correctly. The paper introduces a fast Panoramic mosaic method for the Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system. First of all, zero position in azimuth is determined from position sensor. Then relative position of every image is obtained by the position sensor. Next, the accurate position of image is calculated by integral time of the IR camera. Thus, the panoramic image mosaic are montaged. This method works more quickly and accurately. The innovative point is obtaining accurate position information of image making use of position sensor and integral time of the IR camera.
