Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of celestial navigation, and in particular relates to a method for constructing a navigation star library of a star tracker based on radial and circumferential directions. Background Art

[0002] The combined navigation technology of the inertial navigation system (SINS) and the celestial navigation system (CNS) is of great significance in the fields of aerospace, aviation, navigation, etc., and can provide high-precision, long-duration, fully autonomous navigation information. The inertial navigation system is a completely autonomous navigation method that can output position, velocity and attitude information in real time without an external reference source. It is particularly suitable for environments where GPS signals are limited or external signals cannot be received (such as deep space exploration, underwater navigation or complex electromagnetic environments). However, the inertial navigation system has a significant disadvantage: its errors will accumulate over time, especially when it is running for a long time, the position and velocity errors will continue to amplify, resulting in a decrease in navigation accuracy.

[0003] The astronomical navigation system is a navigation method based on the observation of celestial bodies such as stars and planets, and has the characteristics of high precision and good stability. Since astronomical navigation relies on natural celestial bodies, it is not affected by electromagnetic interference, and there is no problem of error accumulation over time, so it has unique advantages in long-duration navigation missions. Star sensors are the most commonly used observation equipment in astronomical navigation. Traditional large-field-of-view star sensors can independently output attitude information and have strong autonomy. They have been widely used in the aerospace field and the technology is relatively mature. However, in near-ground navigation missions, large-field-of-view star sensors are greatly restricted by weather and observation conditions. For example, they may not work properly in the case of cloud cover or strong light interference.

[0004] In order to solve these problems in near-ground navigation, star trackers with all-day observation capabilities are usually used. A star tracker is essentially a small astronomical telescope system with a very small field of view. It can usually only observe one star at a time, so it cannot output attitude information autonomously like a large-field-of-view star sensor. Without external reference position and attitude information, the star tracker cannot observe the stars autonomously. At this time, the inertial navigation system can provide reference position and attitude information for the star tracker, and the star tracker can effectively correct the attitude error in the inertial navigation system, thereby improving navigation accuracy and system stability. This combined navigation system can provide high-precision attitude and position estimates in an environment without GPS signals, ensuring the autonomy and continuous navigation capability of the aircraft in the mission.

[0005] The design of the navigation star library is the key and foundation for star trackers to achieve near-ground star observation. Most of the existing navigation star library designs are based on large-field-of-view star sensors, which contain thousands of navigation stars. Reasonable navigation star library design helps to improve the efficiency of star map recognition, attitude determination accuracy, and reduce data storage and computing burdens. However, star trackers do not need to perform star map recognition like large-field-of-view star sensors, and their star libraries usually contain only dozens to hundreds of navigation stars. Therefore, the key to the design of the star tracker navigation star library is to ensure that the navigation stars are evenly distributed on the celestial sphere, so that the carrier can observe a certain number of navigation stars at any position, thereby ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the navigation system. Considering that the design of the star tracker navigation star library needs to meet the requirements of uniform distribution of navigation stars, optimization of brightness, and near-ground observation conditions, it is urgent to develop a star tracker navigation star library construction method based on radial and circumferential directions, which can effectively solve the above problems, provide an efficient and reliable navigation star library for star trackers, and further improve the performance of the integrated navigation system. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention relates to a method for constructing a navigation star library of a star tracker based on radial and circumferential directions, aiming to solve the problem of uneven distribution of navigation stars in the sky. The method divides the celestial sphere into a plurality of equally spaced declination rings, and further divides each ring into right ascension sectors, thereby efficiently constructing a navigation star library. First, the number of navigation stars is allocated according to the area weight of each declination ring, ensuring that the ring with a larger area is allocated with more stars, and the ring with a smaller area is allocated with fewer stars. In each right ascension sector, the star closest to the center of the sector and with a higher brightness is selected as a candidate star, ensuring that the selected star is easy to observe and can provide a high-precision attitude reference. Then, multiple candidate star combinations are generated, the right ascension standard deviation of each combination is calculated, and the combination with the smallest right ascension standard deviation and the largest number of stars is selected as the final candidate combination to ensure uniform distribution in the right ascension direction. At the same time, in order to avoid excessive concentration of stars between adjacent declination rings, the global uniformity of the celestial sphere is further improved by selecting the combination with the largest average angular distance between neighboring stars in the outer ring. Finally, the dark stars with inter-star angular distances less than the minimum angular distance are deleted. If the number of stars in the candidate combination is insufficient, they are supplemented by selecting the stars with the largest angular distances from the nearest selected stars, and the initial inter-star angular distances are adjusted dynamically. Based on the uniformity and brightness of the star distribution in the candidate star library, the optimal star library is generated to ensure the uniformity and integrity of the star library. Through the above systematic construction process, the navigation stars in the navigation star library generated by this method show good spatial distribution uniformity, which lays the foundation for high-precision position and attitude reference, and can effectively support all-weather navigation mission requirements around the world.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for constructing a navigation star library of a star tracker based on radial and circumferential directions, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. Uniform distribution of navigation stars: Through radial and circumferential division methods, combined with dynamic optimization mechanisms, the navigation stars can be prevented from being too concentrated or sparse in local areas.

[0016] 2.

[0017] 3. Strong dynamic supplementation and adjustment capabilities: By setting the initial value of the dynamic angular distance and adjusting the minimum distance threshold, the candidate star with the largest angular distance from the nearest neighboring selected navigation star is given priority, and the uniform distribution of the navigation star on the celestial sphere is optimized to meet the mission requirements.

[0018] 4. Full celestial sphere coverage: By processing and merging the northern and southern hemispheres separately, a navigation star library for the entire celestial sphere is constructed, which is suitable for star tracking tasks on a global scale. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The parameters determined in the process of selecting stars in the northern hemisphere: The initial value of the optimal minimum angular distance threshold is , the number of stars selected by radial and circumferential directions is 30, the number of supplementary stars is 15, and some of the selected northern hemisphere navigation stars are shown in Table 1:

[0089] Table 1 Some selected northern hemisphere navigation stars

[0090] S160, construction of the southern hemisphere navigation star library: the southern hemisphere navigation stars are processed according to steps S120 to S150. The latitude of the upper boundary of the southern hemisphere ring It needs to be adjusted to a negative value to ensure the symmetry of the ring division, that is:

[0091] , in, is the index of the ring, is the number of rings in the southern hemisphere.

[0092] Then the screened northern hemisphere navigation star library and southern hemisphere navigation star library are merged to form a star tracking navigation star library for the entire celestial sphere.

[0093] The original star map of the distribution of navigation stars in the southern hemisphere is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the screening star map of the distribution of southern navigation stars is as follows Figure 5 As shown.

[0094] Table 2 Some selected southern hemisphere navigation stars

[0095] Through the above steps, a full-celestial navigation star library containing 90 navigation stars was successfully constructed, including 45 navigation stars in the northern hemisphere and 45 in the southern hemisphere. The navigation stars are evenly distributed in the radial direction, and the number and distribution uniformity of the navigation stars in each ring meet the design requirements. The standard deviation of the inter-star angular distance and the average brightness (measured by the average magnitude value) of the original star library and the screened navigation star library in the southern and northern hemispheres are now counted. The screened star library can be called the navigation star library. The calculation rule for the inter-star angular distance in the original star library in the southern and northern hemispheres is: select the selected star in the original star library, calculate its angular distance with the nearest neighbor star, and then calculate the standard deviation of these angular distance values. The standard deviation and average brightness of the angular distance of the original and navigation star libraries in the southern and northern hemispheres are shown in Table 3:

[0096] Table 3 Standard deviation and average brightness of the original and navigation star library angular distances in the southern and northern hemispheres

[0097] It can be seen from Table 3 that the standard deviation of the angular distance of the southern and northern hemisphere navigation star libraries is significantly lower than that of the original star library, indicating that the inter-satellite distribution of the navigation star library is more uniform. At the same time, the average brightness of the navigation star library is higher, indicating that the selected navigation stars are brighter and more suitable for navigation tasks.

Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
