Design and Analysis of the Composite Stability Control of the Reflective Optoelectronic Platform

Abstract

To improve image object detection and tracking, researchers have been exploring methods to enhance the stability and precision of optoelectronic platforms’ line of sight (LOS). The innovation of stability mechanisms is the key driver of this breakthrough. This study presents a composite stability control system for reflective optoelectronic platforms using the integral composite stability principle. A platform kinematic model was established based on multi-body kinematic theory, and a composite stable control strategy was designed. The strategy includes coarse stability design and fine stability design based on residual error feed-forward correction. The performance of the control strategy was analyzed in terms of dynamics, current loop control effects, and loop structure. The proposed control strategy was simulated and experimentally verified for fixed-frequency angular velocity disturbance and translational disturbance. The stability accuracy index of the system was significantly improved after compensation, with improvement of more than 75 times for fixed-frequency angular velocity disturbance and more than 37% for translational disturbance. Comparative experimental results with traditional stable methods show that the proposed composite stable control strategy can significantly improve the system stability, with stability accuracy index improvement of one to two orders of magnitude in micro-radian units compared to traditional algorithms.
