Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a star aiming and tracking device and method, and in particular to a fast star aiming and tracking device, method and detection device for a small-field-of-view camera. Background Art
[0002] The star magnitude detection capability is one of the main performance indicators of space optical cameras. In addition to the indoor calibration test in the design and production stage, outdoor testing and verification of the actual detection capability of the camera by photographing stars in the sky is usually indispensable. Especially for optical cameras with special spectral bands or narrow bands, the data simulation analysis error is extremely large. The indoor detection capability test is limited by the spectrum of the light source and is difficult to accurately simulate. The spectra of different stars have significant and stable characteristics. Selecting stars of the corresponding spectrum bands outdoors to calibrate optical cameras with special spectral bands or narrow bands has become an important means. To calibrate the camera detection capability using stars distributed in the celestial sphere outdoors, aiming the camera at the stars is the first step. Only by aiming and stably pointing at the stars can the camera parameters be adjusted and optimized to calibrate the detection capability. However, for cameras with a field of view of 5mrad or even smaller, it is very difficult to quickly point to the stars to be observed within the 2πrad celestial sphere. The equipment installation base needs to be strictly adjusted to the level and the zero reference north calibrated. In theory, a 5mrad camera field of view requires 3.5×10^5 seamless stitching times to scan half of the celestial sphere. It is very likely that faint star targets will pass through the field of view or be missed during the process of manually pointing the camera blindly to find stars. Even if a star happens to enter the camera's field of view at a certain moment, due to the rotation of the earth, for a 5mrad camera field of view, stars other than the North Star only stay in the field of view for about 19.1 seconds. This short time makes it difficult to calibrate and verify the camera's star detection capability. Summary of the invention

[0040] Step 3: The electronic control box obtains the observation vector in the measurement coordinate system of the corresponding star sensor based on the attitude matrix A;
[0041] Step 4: The electric control box converts the observation vector of the star sensor measurement coordinate system into the observation vector of the two-dimensional turntable coordinate system through the installation matrix M of the star sensor measurement coordinate system and the two-dimensional turntable coordinate system;

[0044] Furthermore, the observation vector r of the star to be observed relative to the center of the earth in step 1 above is J2000.0 It is expressed by the following formula:
[0045]
[0046] Furthermore, the posture matrix A in the above step 2 is expressed by the following formula:
[0047]
[0048] Among them, q0, q1, q2, and q3 are attitude quaternions.

[0063] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0064] 1. When existing small-field-of-view cameras are pointed at stars in the field, the measurement base is usually required to have high leveling accuracy, which is less than 1 / 2 of the field of view. This results in a long time for repeated leveling in the early preparation after each deployment of the equipment, and re-leveling is required after movement. The present invention fixes the star sensor and the two-dimensional turntable on the same reference plane. The target vector of the star sensor measurement coordinate system relative to the J2000.0 inertial coordinate system can be directly converted into the target vector in the two-dimensional turntable coordinate system through the installation matrix M, regardless of whether the measurement reference is leveled or pointed to the initial zero position, and the aiming and pointing process is simple.
[0065] 2. The device of the present invention points to and tracks stars without the need for accurately measuring the position of the ground station. It is directly calculated based on the right ascension and declination of the stars in the J2000.0 inertial coordinate system and the measurement reference attitude in the J2000.0 inertial system, avoiding the association of geodetic coordinates and the precession of the earth's rotation polar motion. Usually, the elevation angle of the ground station pointing to the star is defined relative to the local level, and the local level is closely related to the local latitude, altitude and other geographical information. The smaller the camera field of view, the higher the latitude and longitude of the measuring station, the higher the measurement accuracy.
[0066] 3. The small field of view camera outdoor detection device based on the device of the present invention can be portable and moved arbitrarily during testing, and can be repeatedly expanded and retracted at any time. It is also simple and easy to switch between different observed stars. You only need to find the right ascension and declination information of the target in the star library and input it to switch the direction. The right ascension and declination information does not change with time and can be injected in advance. The angle directly used to point to the star during conventional field testing requires strict time unification due to the rotation of the earth, so high-precision pointing to the star target requires strict time unification.

[0072] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0073] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0074] This embodiment is suitable for fast star tracking of a small-field-of-view camera. Here, a small-field-of-view camera generally refers to a camera with a field of view of the order of milliradians. It is very difficult for such a camera to quickly point to and aim at a star to be observed within a 2πrad celestial sphere.
[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a mounting base plate 1, a two-dimensional turntable 2, a star sensor 3 and an electric control box 4. Among them, the two-dimensional turntable 2 is composed of a vertical azimuth axis system, a horizontal pitch axis system and a pitch stage 21 that can carry the test piece. The star sensor 3 and the two-dimensional turntable 2 are fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 1, and the pitch stage 21 of the two-dimensional turntable 2 is used to fix the small field of view camera 5 to be tested. According to actual needs, the entire device is placed in the use environment by moving the mounting base plate 1.
[0076] The installation relationship between the two-dimensional turntable 2, the star sensor 3 and the small field camera 5 to be measured is as follows:
[0077] The coordinate system of the two-dimensional turntable 2 is XzYzZz: When the pitch stage 21 is horizontal, it is defined as the pitch 0° of the two-dimensional turntable 2. The Xz axis points to the direction of the camera's visual axis when the turntable's azimuth angle and pitch angle are both 0°. The Zz axis is defined as the normal direction of the mounting surface of the mounting base plate 1, and the Yz axis satisfies the right-hand relationship with the Xz axis and the Zz axis. The angle of rotation around the vertical axis Zz axis is defined as the azimuth angle. Definition of the positive and negative signs of the azimuth angle of the two-dimensional turntable 2: Looking against the Zz axis, the clockwise rotation angle is positive, and the counterclockwise rotation angle is negative; definition of the positive and negative signs of the pitch angle of the two-dimensional turntable 2: Looking against the Yz axis, the clockwise rotation angle is positive, and the counterclockwise rotation angle is negative.
[0078] The measurement coordinate system of star sensor 3 is XsYsZs: the visual axis direction of star sensor 3 is defined as Zs axis, Xs axis and Ys axis are perpendicular to Zs axis, and Xs axis and Ys axis are parallel to the row and column directions of star sensor 3 photoelectric detector.
[0079] The electric control box 4 is electrically connected to the two-dimensional turntable 2 and the star sensor 3. Rapid star aiming and tracking can be achieved through the following process:
[0080] Calculate the pointing vector of the surface test site pointing to the star to be observed. Calculate the observation vector r relative to the center of the earth according to the right ascension and declination αδ of the star to be observed.
[0081]
[0082] Since stars are very far away, at least several light years away, and the radius of the earth is only about 6378km, which is much smaller than the distance between the star to be observed and the center of the earth, the geocentric observation vector can be equated to the vector pointing from the surface test site to the star to be observed.
[0083] The star sensor 3 outputs the attitude change of its measurement coordinate system relative to the inertia of J2000.0 according to the star map matching in its field of view. The attitude is usually represented by the attitude matrix A represented by the attitude quaternions q0, q1, q2, q3.
[0084]
[0085] The observation vector corresponding to the star sensor 3 measurement coordinate system is described as:
[0086]
[0087] Due to the rotation of the Earth, this attitude changes with time t.
[0088] The installation matrix of the measurement coordinate system of the star sensor 3 and the coordinate system of the two-dimensional turntable 2 is M, which is a function of the three angles a, b, and c, that is:
[0089]
[0090] The observation vector of the measurement coordinate system of the star sensor 3 is converted into the observation vector of the coordinate system of the two-dimensional turntable 2 through the M matrix.
[0091]
[0092] When the measurement coordinate system of the star sensor 3 is installed in parallel with the measurement coordinate system of the two-dimensional turntable 2, the M matrix is the unit matrix. At this time, the posture is also the posture of the two-dimensional turntable 2 coordinate system relative to the J2000.0 coordinate system.
[0093] Calculate the azimuth pitch angle of the small field camera 5 pointed at the star. According to the definition of the azimuth pitch angle and its sign of the two-dimensional turntable 2, calculate the azimuth angle Az corresponding to the vector t and pitch angle El t The control box drives the 2-axis system of the two-dimensional turntable to rotate so that the camera's visual axis points to the target star in the predetermined airspace.
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] The attitude matrix of the two-dimensional turntable 2 measurement coordinate system relative to the J2000.0 inertial system and the azimuth angle and pitch angle of the two-dimensional turntable 2 are updated with time t, keeping the camera's visual axis pointing to track the observed star, so that the observed target star is always in the center of the field of view of the small field of view camera 5.
[0097] The above calculation process can be performed in a control box, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the above calculation process is realized.
[0098] At the same time, this embodiment can also provide an outdoor detection device with a small field of view camera 5 including the above-mentioned small field of view camera 5 fast star aiming and tracking device. The small field of view camera 55 is fixedly mounted on the pitch stage 21 of the two-dimensional turntable 22 in the small field of view camera 5 fast star aiming and tracking device, and the pitch azimuth adjustment can be realized based on the two-dimensional turntable 22.
