    摘要: The invention relates to a weight and reference quaternion correction unscented quaternion estimation method, comprising: obtaining measurement data as quantity measurement through a gyro and a star sensor; establishing a quaternion-based discrete spacecraft nonlinear state space model; estimating an error quaternion, a gyro drift and a corresponding error covariance at a k moment by using an unscented quaternion estimator based on parameter and reference quaternion correction at a k−1 moment; and setting a filtering time as Ntime, if k

    摘要: A satellite attitude estimation system 20 includes a determination unit 21 which determines the maximum pixel, which is a pixel with the largest luminance, and the minimum pixel, which is a pixel with the smallest luminance, respectively, in an infrared image, which is an image taken by an infrared sensor of a target satellite that is a satellite whose attitude is to be estimated, an association unit 22 which associates the determined maximum and minimum pixels with coordinates on the 3D structure of the target satellite, respectively, a computation unit 23 which computes normal vectors for a surface including the coordinates associated with the pixel, respectively, over the coordinates associated with each pixel, and a sun direction estimation unit 24 which estimates the direction of the sun relative to the target satellite before the infrared image is taken using the computed normal vectors.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and devices for determining the attitude of a spacecraft by capturing a photograph of a starry sky, determining at least one potential star from the photograph, extracting for at least one potential star a spot pattern based upon rings having a similar area, searching a database for selecting a list of best candidate stars, verifying if the spot may be positively identified as a reference star by matching the spot with best candidate reference stars from a database, positively identifying at least one potential star, and determining the attitude of the spacecraft based upon at least one positively identified star.

    摘要: A profiling approach for determining a path for an aircraft, using a method comprising the steps of determining at least two waypoints between a starting position and a desired terminal position for the aircraft, determining a path for the aircraft between the starting position and the terminal position, by performing a linear approximation of the heights of the waypoints such that the average height change between waypoints is minimized, and constrained by a maximum climb angle of said aircraft, and performing a linear approximation of arrival times for each of the waypoints and aircraft speeds between the waypoints, constrained by permissible velocity of said aircraft on the slope between the waypoints. In this way, the non-linear relationship between climb rate and speed is approximated with linear equations, because determination of the path between each set of two waypoints is broken into two linear problems.

    摘要: A method comprises identifying, in an electronic map, road data and intersection data, wherein the intersection data specifies an approach and two or more exits from the approach, bounding the approach using a bounding box around the entrance to an approach, identifying, using the bounding box, traces associated with the approach, wherein each trace identifies a path of a vehicle on one or more of the roads, for each trace of the plurality of traces, identifying which of the two or more exits most closely matches the particular trace, generating histograms based on a time period and which of the two or more exits most closely matches each trace of the plurality of traces, determining, using the histograms, whether one or more threshold values associated with one of the two or more exits is satisfied, sending a notification signal when the one or more threshold values is satisfied.

    摘要: A computing device may detect that a space object has undergone a maneuver and may attempt to calculate a solution to that maneuver based in part on start and stop times and thrust uncertainties associated with the detected maneuver. However, the computing device may sometimes be unable to calculate an acceptable solution for a detected maneuver given these initial start and stop times and thrust uncertainties. Thus, the various embodiments provide for a computing device and methods implemented by a processor executing on the device for identifying and calculating a recovery maneuver of a space object when an acceptable solution for a detected maneuver cannot be determined. In the various embodiments, a computing device processor may generate a recovery maneuver based on the detected maneuver, and the processor may adjust the start and stop times and the uncertainty values of the recovery maneuver until an acceptable solution is found.
