Abstract

Calibration of the intrinsic parameters of a star sensor before and after its launch is essential. The existing techniques have not taken the centroiding error into consideration thoroughly. Meanwhile, the calibration operation is complex. Based on the principle of the SPGD algorithm, a calibration method fully considering the star image centroiding error is proposed in this work. Simulation result indicates that the intrinsic parameters are calibrated out and kept constantly after tens of iterations. The accuracy of principle point of the proposed SPGD based method is 4 times as the IAICM. As for the focus length, the accuracy is improved by 6 times compared to the IAICM. Simultaneously, the calibration operation becomes extremely simple
