The invention discloses a method for carrying out correlation and
orbit determination on a space target based on a double-star
optical observation result, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining the observation vectors of two observation
stars for a certain space target in the respective visual fields, calculating the
shortest distance between the observation vectors, and if the distance is always smaller than a threshold value in a
time sequence, determining that the space target does not exist. And if not, determining that the two observation
stars observe the same space target, calculating a midpoint of two observation vector common vertical lines of the same space target by the two observation
stars as an
orbit determination point, and performing
orbit determination on the space target based on an
orbit determination point sequence. According to the method, a low-cost space-based optical
orbit determination mode is adopted, space target association is completed through an
algorithm with low calculation cost, target consistency is judged based on observation vector
distance constraints, a complex model or a large amount of calculation power is not needed, efficient
processing can still be performed when the number of targets is large and the data size is large, and the cost and efficiency advantages are remarkable.
