The invention belongs to the technical field of
digital photogrammetry, and discloses a
monocular distance and angle measurement method for a space cooperative target, which comprises the following steps of: filtering and binarizing a grey-
scale map of a current frame image, and positioning an area where the target is positioned; positioning the convex hulls in the area where the target is located to position the target key endpoints, and obtaining two-dimensional pixel coordinates of the target key endpoints under the pixel coordinate
system; in a world coordinate
system, determining three-dimensional space coordinates of key end points of each target by using geometric dimension information of a known cooperative target, and modeling a corresponding relation of the key end points of each target in the world coordinate
system and a pixel coordinate system by using a
monocular camera imaging model so as to solve a distance and an included angle from a target
centroid to a camera optical center; and when the target is in the extreme posture, correcting the distance by using the proportional relation between the pixel length of the target rotation axis and the actual physical length of the target rotation axis, and correcting the included angle. According to the invention, high-precision distance and angle measurement of the space cooperative target with changeable attitudes can be realized.
