Extending Capture Range for Piston Error in Segmented Primary Mirror Telescopes Based on Wavelet Support Vector Machine With Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In the co-phasing techniques applied to the segmented telescope, a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor cannot accurately detect the piston error of the segment. Although the phase diversity (PD) algorithm can detect the piston error of each segment, it fails
