摘要:
An artificial satellite navigation system and method. The artificial satellite navigation system includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, local satellite, and remote satellite absolute navigation units estimating the position and velocity of a local satellite or a remote satellite and bias and drift of a clock in the receiver. A difference calculation unit calculates differences in position and velocity from the local satellite and remote satellite absolute navigation units. A relative navigation unit estimates the relative position and velocity of the local satellite with respect to the remote satellite. The relative navigation unit navigates the local satellite relative to the remote satellite.
摘要:
A global positioning system (GPS) receiving system which achieves an equivalent synchronization in time measurement of GPS signals utilizing software without requiring highly accurate synchronization for receiver clocks with time information embedded in the GPS signals. The GPS receiving system performs a relative navigation process after correcting a pseudorange with a time tag error which is attributable to inaccuracy of receiver clocks of first and second moving objects. A relative navigation process correcting an absolute error of a time tag with a clock bias is also described. A differential computation unit calculates a difference between the first pseudorange and the second pseudorange commonized by the time tag commonizing unit. Correction in a time tag error correction unit is performed for the selected GPS data with a common GPS satellite identification number.
摘要:
An apparatus for determining the attitude of an artificial satellite by narrowing attitude candidates to a correct one in a short time. The apparatus has star sensors, a star catalog data base, star identification sections in each of which star images output from the star sensors are collated with a star catalog with respect to each star sensor to output a group of corresponding candidates, attitude computation sections for computing a value of an attitude candidate of the artificial satellite with respect to each corresponding candidate, an attitude updating section for updating the value of the attitude candidate on the basis of the star images output from the star sensor and the star catalog, and an attitude propagation section for computing the value of the attitude candidate at the present sampling time from the value of the attitude candidate at the preceding sampling time and the artificial satellite's angular velocity. An attitude candidate unification section for comparing and combining the values of attitude candidates into one candidate is provided in a loop including the attitude updating section and the attitude propagation section.

An image collating center has a communication unit, a processing unit, and a memory unit. The processing unit accesses a geographic information database through a communication network, extracts appropriate geographic information from the geographic information database based on a picked-up image and additional information transmitted from an image provider, and generates a simulated image assumed to be viewed from the image provider. Further, the image collating center estimates the image pickup position and the image pickup attitude of the image provider through collating the simulated image with the picked-up image and returns the estimated image pickup position and image pickup attitude of the image provider to the image provider through the communication network.
