    摘要: A method and system for determining the position of at least one position retroreflective element in a predetermined frame of reference using two benchmark positions of known coordinates. A light transmitting and detecting means and a reference retroreflective element are oppositely positioned at a primary benchmark position located at known first coordinates and a secondary benchmark position located at known second coordinates. The light transmitting and detecting means takes angular measurements by sensing a reflected light beam from the position and reference retroreflective elements. After taking angular measurements in the above configuration, the light transmitting and detecting means and the reference retroreflective element are transposed and additional angular measurements are taken. From the angular measurements, the position of the position retroreflective element is determined in the coordinate frame of reference. In addition, the light transmitting and detecting means may be further positioned at an intermediate benchmark position having unknown coordinates. After determining the coordinates of the intermediate benchmark position, angular measurements taken at the intermediate benchmark position are compared with the angular measurements from the primary and secondary benchmark positions and the most accurate measurements are used to determine the position of at least one position retroreflective element.

    摘要: The present invention is concerned with displaying moving objects (targets) wherein two time-shifted object signatures are imaged on a detector. Target scanning is with a prismatic rotating wheel, the periphery of which has a plurality of adjacent, recessed, and oppositely reflecting triplet mirror surfaces which alternately reflect the two signatures onto the detector. The position coordinates of the objects are defined by taking the difference of the detector output signals of the two object signatures. The display is characterized in that the first signature scan is delayed by an intermediate storage so that it shall be simultaneously available with the second signature scan. After taking the difference of the signals of these signature scans, the uncanceled individual signals remaining in the storage are defined as the coordinates of the moving objects and appear as electronic outputs.

    摘要: A star sensor mounted in a satellite subjected to a spinning motion includes an optical system for obtaining an image of a fixed star, a CCD area sensor as an image pickup device arranged at a focal point of the optical system, a signal processing circuit for receiving an output from the CCD area sensor through a preamplifier, and a CCD driving circuit connected to the CCD area sensor. The CCD area sensor is an interline type CCD. The optical axis of the optical system is perpendicular to a spinning axis of the satellite. The horizontal scanning direction of the CCD area sensor coincides with the direction of the spinning axis. For this reason, the star image is moved on the light-receiving surface of the CCD area sensor along the vertical scanning direction with the spinning motion of the satellite. The CCD driving circuit causes the CCD area sensor to perform time-delay integration at a speed corresponding to the spinning speed of the satellite. After one-frame information obtained by the photoelectric transducer is transferred (frame shift) to the vertical transfer CCD arrays, only a one-horizontal line component is read out for a period between one frame shift and the next frame shift. Therefore, movement of the star image on the photoelectric transducer is synchronized with the transfer speed of the signal charge in the vertical transfer CCD arrays, and thus the signal charge of the star image can be integrated in the vertical transfer CCD arrays.

    摘要: A relatively large field of view is scanned to derive an indication of a point source, optical energy emitter being in the field of view, without recognizing relatively large, non-point emitters in the field of view. Each detector in an array of linearly, arranged point source detectors generates an output current in response to the energy irradiating it. The detectors have slightly displaced, narrow fields of view which are scanned so that the field of view of each detector traces a relatively narrow, substantially straight line path across the large field of view. The paths traced by a pair of detectors are substantially parallel and close enough to each other to enable the images of large targets to be indicated as undulations having approximately the same wave shape at substantially the same time positions at the outputs of the pair of detectors. Each of a plurality of negative feedback differential operational amplifiers, one for each pair of detectors, includes complementary input and output terminals which are connected to the detectors so that a point source target illuminating one of the detectors is indicated by the polarity of a pulse output of the amplifier. The inputs of the amplifier are connected to spatially arranged detectors in the array so that the large targets are subtracted in the amplifier and are not indicated in the amplifier output. In response to the output signal of each amplifier, an indication is derived to indicate which of the detectors is responsive to a point source.
