Optical testing of star sensor (II): Alignment of star sensor from off-line pictures taken in orbital test

Alignment error of an image sensor relative to the optical axis of a star sensor head and alignment errors between four heads were calculated from pictures taken in an orbital experiment. When comparing the image sensor alignment parameters in the orbital test and a ground test, both values matched well. By determining the relative relationship of the four heads using four pictures taken at the same moment in orbit and uploading the parameters to the star sensor system in orbit, the estimated attitude error was improved from 0.29 to 0.17°, though the accuracy was limited by the ±0.2° determination accuracy of the satellite itself. We estimated the attitude determination accuracy from separation angles between boresights of the four heads, calculated from pattern matching between downloaded pictures and a star catalogue. The estimated accuracy, in terms of potential optical performance, was 0.60 arcmin at 3σ, which is sufficient to satisfy the specification of 1 arcmin.

一种非标定的快速星图识别方法

大多数现有算法在星敏感器光学系统参数标定不准确时,识别率显著降低。针对这种情况提出了一种无需标定参数的识别算法。该算法引入比例距离作为径向特征,角度作为环向特征。这两种特征不依赖焦距、主点等任何光学系统参数,仅和图像平面上的星点位置有关。识别时首先按照特征量进行初始匹配,然后利用FOV(Field of View)约束筛选待选星进行精确匹配。为了加快速度,精确匹配时引入了快速分组方法。仿真实验表明,该方法具有较快的识别速度,在没有光学系统参数的情况下,识别率可以达到97%。

To test whether the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor can endure the steady-state inertial loads caused by the acceleration and the sensing properties during the loads, a FBG strain and temperature sensor with aluminium alloy substrate package was designed, and the acceleration performance on the sensor was tested. The sizes of FBG strain and temperature sensor were designed and its package process was described. The strain and temperature sensing mechanisms of FBG sensor were analyzed, and the spectrum detection and demodulation system based on volume phase grating and linear array photodetector was developed. Finally, the acceleration test equipment was established, and the acceleration performance test of the selected FBG strain and temperature sensor was carried out in accordance with the requirements and methods of GJB150.15A acceleration test. The experimental results show that in the 2 min performance test before and after the acceleration test, the wavelength offset is below to ±50 pm, and the change of light intensity is below to 0.3 V. In acceleration test, the maximum fluctuation of wavelength offset is ±7 pm, and the light intensity is in the range of 1.3 V~4.003 V. It is proved that the designed FBG sensor has the ability to endure the acceleration loads and has the good sensing performance during the acceleration loads.

A study on a fast measuring technique of wavefront using a Shack–Hartmann sensor

The measuring resolution and speed for wavefront are important to improve the performance of an adaptive optics system. In this paper, we propose a fast measuring technique with high resolution in the Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor. The proposed measuring technique of wavefront combines the conventional center of mass algorithm with an estimated weighting factor. The estimated weighting factor is a real value anticipating the real center of mass in a wavefront spot image. This estimated weighting factor can be calculated at the initialization step of an adaptive optics system. We designed a robust adaptive optics system with this proposed measuring algorithm. The measuring accuracy and speed are investigated by using the proposed algorithm compared with the conventional center of mass algorithm in experiments.     

Design of an ultrasonic sensor for measuring distance and detecting obstacles

This paper introduces a novel method for designing the transducer of a highly directional ultrasonic range sensor for detecting obstacles in mobile robot applications. The transducer consists of wave generation, amplification, and radiation sections, and a countermass. The operating principle of this design is based on the parametric array method where the frequency difference between two ultrasonic waves is used to generate a highly directional low-frequency wave with a small aperture. The aim of this study was to design an optimal transducer to generate the two simultaneous longitudinal modes efficiently. We first derived an appropriate mathematical model by combining the continuum model of a bar and countermass with the compatibility condition between a piezoelectric actuator and a linear horn. Then we determined the optimal length of the aluminum horn and the piezoelectric actuator using a finite element method. The proposed sensor exhibited a half-power bandwidth of less than ±1.3° at 44.8 kHz, a much higher directivity than existing conventional ultrasonic range sensors.
