The Annular Suspension and Pointing (ASP) system for space experiments and predicted pointing accuracies [PDF]

open access: yes
An annular suspension and pointing system consisting of pointing assemblies for coarse and vernier pointing is described. The first assembly is attached to a carrier spacecraft (e.g., the space shuttle) and consists of an azimuth gimbal and an elevation ...

Precision pointing compensation for DSN antennas with optical distance measuring sensors [PDF]

open access: yes
The pointing control loops of Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas do not account for unmodeled deflections of the primary and secondary reflectors. As a result, structural distortions due to unpredictable environmental loads can result in uncompensated ...

Method for User Interface of Large Displays Using Arm Pointing and Finger Counting Gesture Recognition

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Although many three-dimensional pointing gesture recognition methods have been proposed, the problem of self-occlusion has not been considered. Furthermore, because almost all pointing gesture recognition methods use a wide-angle camera, additional ...

Evaluation of ERBE scanner pointing accuracy based upon a coastline detection algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes
Measurements from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scanning radiometers must be accurately located at the top of the Earth's atmosphere for proper interpretation of derived longwave and shortwave components of the Earth radiation field.
