The invention discloses a composite three-view-field
star sensor star map
simulation method. The composite three-view-field
star sensor star map
simulation method comprises the following steps that step 1, an observation star meeting the requirements is selected according to the limiting magnitude of a
star sensor, and star number, star magnitude,
right ascension and
declination data of the observation star is extracted and stored in an observation star
database; step 2, statistics is conducted on observation
stars in three optical
system view fields of the composite three-view-field star sensor, and incidence angles of the observation
stars in subsystem coordinate systems the observation
stars belongs to in the X and Y directions are calculated; step 3, the star magnitude, view field position data of fake stars is randomly produced according to the total number of the fake stars; step 4, imaging of the observation stars and the fake stars within the respective view fields performed by an optical
system is simulated through
ray tracing, and
image plane information is calculated; step 5, the brightness of each pixel of a digital star map is calculated, and the digital star map is output. The composite three-view-field star sensor star map
simulation method is simple and convenient to operate and low in cost, does not depend on a hardware
system formed through
machining and can provide rich simulation star map data for other technical research of the composite three-view-field star sensor.
