Abstract
The relative position and attitude estimation of non-cooperative spacecraft is essential to high-precision guidance, navigation, and control systems. This paper mainly proposes a method to measure the relative position, velocity and attitude of non-cooperative spacecrafts using stereo camera and dynamics. First, using stereo camera observe the spacecraft, and extract the feature points of images. Then, calculate the 3D position of the feature points, and match the relationship between the feature points to obtain geometric constraint information between frames. Based on this, the relative position, velocity, attitude and angular velocity of the target spacecraft are calculated. According to relative orbit dynamics and relative attitude dynamics model, design extended Kalman filter to update the measurement results. The simulation results show that the estimation accuracy is better than 0.01m, the relative velocity accuracy is better than 0.001m/s, and the relative attitude accuracy is better than 0.01°. This method can provide technical support for the relative navigation of non-cooperative spacecraft.
