The present invention discloses a star map recognition method for a multi-field
star sensor, comprising the following steps: Step S1, constructing a navigation
database, the navigation
database comprising a navigation star
library for storing basic information of
stars, a
library for storing star pairs with small angular distances within the
field of view, and a
library for storing angular distances between fields of view with large angular distances; Step S2, identifying primary
stars in multiple fields of view; and Step S3, identifying
stars observed in the
full field of view. In the present invention, a "one small, two large" model is constructed, and by limiting the selection range of observation stars in the model, the number of models is reduced, thereby reducing the
database capacity and improving the recognition speed. Based on attitude solution results, iterative identification of stars observed in the
full field of view is carried out, and the accuracy of attitude solution is gradually improved through iteration, thereby improving the recognition rate of stars observed in the
full field of view. Only
angular distance information is used for recognition, and
image fusion between fields of view is not required. The method is not limited by the number of fields of view or the angle between fields of view, and is more suitable for multi-field star sensors with different numbers of fields of view and boresight angles.
