Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a CMOS-based solar azimuth calculation method, which can be used to improve the solar azimuth calculation accuracy of a polarized light navigation system for unmanned aerial vehicles or ground vehicles. Background technique
[0002] Atmospheric polarization patterns contain sun orientation information and can be used for navigation purposes. The present invention proposes a CMOS-based solar azimuth calculation method, by measuring the direction and intensity of polarized light in the sky, the azimuth information of the sun in the module coordinate system (m system) is obtained, combined with the astronomical almanac information, the carrier's azimuth can be further obtained heading information.
[0003] Traditional polarization navigation methods are limited by the performance of the sensors used, and cannot make full use of atmospheric polarization information. A method for determining the polarization azimuth angle based on...
