可重复使用运载器大姿态机动自抗扰控制

针对可重复使用运载器大俯仰角或偏航角转弯机动而产生的姿态角奇异的控制问题,提出了基于四元数的自抗扰控制方法。通过两级跟踪微分器从期望四元数中逐步得到三通道解耦的角加速度信号,然后利用扩张状态观测器观测模型中的不确定项,最终采用动态逆得到解耦的三通道发动机等效摆角或RCS(Reaction Control System)等控制信号,并设计了数字滤波器对弹性振动与液体晃动信号进行滤波处理。考虑到系统模型具有非线性、不确定性、11阶弹性振动、一阶液体晃动、风干扰和气动偏差等多种外部扰动条件,对可重复使用运载器从主动段到再入飞行段进行了非线性六自由度仿真分析。仿真结果表明,基于四元数的自抗扰姿态控制器具有快速、平稳、超调量小、抗干扰能力强、无系统抖振且控制参数较少的特点。     

基于加性四元数误差方程的惯性/天文姿态组合算法

针对采用旋转四元数误差进行的组合导航误差建模中状态方程的非线性化问题,提出一种新的惯性/天文组合姿态组合算法,以姿态加性四元数误差和陀螺漂移为状态变量,推导系统线性化状态方程,并以天文导航和惯导姿态四元数之差为量测量,建立系统量测方程,然后利用卡尔曼滤波实现对该组合模式的信息融合,仿真分析表明,所设计的基于姿态四元数误差和陀螺漂移的组合模式能够有效估计系统状态误差,姿态误差0.02°左右,验证了其有效性,可避免较为复杂的非线性滤波器的使用,为工程实践提供了理论支持.     

基于对偶四元数的双星编队相对位姿测量

为了描述编队卫星中主从星的相对位置和姿态信息,提出了基于对偶四元数的编队卫星相对位姿测量算法。以双星编队飞行的位姿运动为主线,运用对偶四元数工具,充分发挥其能以最简洁的形式表示一般性刚体运动的优点,对卫星轨道和姿态进行分析并建立了对偶四元数位姿模型。同时设计类GPS测量技术来测量编队卫星的相对位置和姿态,该技术载波相位波长和伪码码元比GPS的更短,可获得更高精度的相对测量信号。由于状态方程和观测方程的非线性特征,使用UKF滤波来消除随机噪声对量测过程的干扰。实验结果表明,所设计的算法能够有效估计系统误差,卫星的位置误差和四元数误差收敛于零,验证了该算法的有效性。

QuatJND: A Robust Quaternion JND Model for Color Image Watermarking

Robust quantization watermarking with perceptual JND model has made a great success for image copyright protection. Generally, either restores each color channel separately or processes the vector representation from three color channels with the traditional monochromatic model. And it cannot make full use of the high correlation among RGB channels. In this paper, we proposed a robust quaternion JND Model for color image watermarking (QuatJND). In contrast to the existing perceptual JND models, the advantage of QuatJND is that it can integrate quaternion representation domain and colorfulness simultaneously, and QuatJND incorporates the pattern guided contrast masking effect in quaternion domain. On the other hand, in order to efficiently utilize the color information, we further develop a robust quantization watermarking framework using the color properties of the quaternion DCT coefficients in QuatJND. And the quantization steps of each quaternion DCT block in the scheme are optimal. Experimental results show that our method has a good performance in term of robustness with better visual quality.     

A note on certain matrices with h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomials

In this paper we consider a g – circulant, right circulant, left circulant and a special kind of a tridiagonal matrices whose entries are h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomials. We present the determinant of these matrices and with the tridiagonal matrices we show that the determinant is equal to the nth term of the h(x) – Fibonacci quaternion polynomial sequences.
