An Optical System of Star Sensors with Accuracy Performance Varying with the Field of View

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The field of view and single-star measurement accuracy are crucial metrics for assessing the performance of a star sensor. The field of view determines the spatial range of stars that can be captured by the sensor, while the single-star measurement ...

A Fast Star Identification Algorithm of Star Sensors in the LIS Mode

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
In the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) area, due to the influence of transient noise caused by space radiation, a star sensor can easily stay in the lost-in-space (LIS) mode for a long time. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a fast star identification (FSI) algorithm.

Star Centroiding Based on Fast Gaussian Fitting for Star Sensors [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2018
The most accurate star centroiding method for star sensors is the Gaussian fitting (GF) algorithm, because the intensity distribution of a star spot conforms to the Gaussian function, but the computational complexity of GF is too high for real-time applications.

Star centroiding error compensation for intensified star sensors

open access: yesOptics Express, 2016
A star sensor provides high-precision attitude information by capturing a stellar image; however, the traditional star sensor has poor dynamic performance, which is attributed to its low sensitivity. Regarding the intensified star sensor, the image intensifier is utilized to improve the sensitivity, thereby further improving the dynamic performance of ...

Blurred Star Image Processing for Star Sensors under Dynamic Conditions [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2012
The precision of star point location is significant to identify the star map and to acquire the aircraft attitude for star sensors. Under dynamic conditions, star images are not only corrupted by various noises, but also blurred due to the angular rate of the star sensor.
