The invention provides a coarse and fine switching method and device in
satellite top-crossing tracking and pointing, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the state
estimation and
uncertainty quantification based on the instantaneous
pointing error of a
satellite top-crossing tracking and pointing
system at a
satellite top-crossing stage, generating and dynamically updating the two-dimensional probability
density distribution describing the position of a
light spot, and carrying out the dynamic updating of the two-dimensional probability
density distribution; fusing with a
light intensity distribution diagram influenced by atmospheric turbulence to obtain an effective receiving index, and determining a
region of interest for fine aiming detection from probability distribution; performing spatio-temporal clustering analysis on multiple frames of detection data continuously collected by the fine aiming equipment, and calculating the coordinates of a fine aiming tracking point and the identification confidence of the fine aiming tracking point; and predicting the tracking interruption probability based on the atmospheric turbulence prediction data and the probability distribution, performing judgment in combination with the confidence coefficient, and if the judgment is passed, switching the
control system to a fine aiming closed-loop tracking mode. According to the invention, rapid, reliable and anti-interference automatic switching from coarse aiming to fine aiming can be realized in a high dynamic scene in which a satellite rapidly passes through the top, so that rapid establishment and stable maintenance of a
free space optical communication link are ensured.
