摘要:
为提高测量系统的稳定性及精度，实现航天器超近距离高精度对接，本文提出了一种基于单相机及合作靶标的相对位姿测量系统，用于双星间相对位置及姿态的高精度测量。通过设计追踪星视觉相机及目标星LED合作靶标，在双星距离为50米到0.4米的范围内，实现了高精度的相对位姿测量。通过设计远近场LED靶标，实现了相机与靶标间的协同工作，保证在50米到0.4米的距离均能清晰成像；根据设计的靶标特性，提出了多尺度质心提取算法，利用斜率一致性约束与间距比筛选，在复杂光照下能稳定获取特征目标；最后，结合靶标几何约束的初值估计，实现了目标星相对于追踪星的位姿解算，为进一步提高测量精度，引入非线性优化方法对位姿结果进行迭代优化，有效降低了测量误差。试验结果表明，系统测量精度由远及近逐渐提高，在距离为0.4 m时，位置测量精度优于1 mm，姿态测量精度优于0.2°，满足超近距离对接任务需求。本方案为空间在轨目标相对位姿测量提供了高精度、高稳定性的技术支撑，具有重要的工程应用价值。
Abstract:To enhance the stability and accuracy of estimation systems for ultra-close high-precision docking of spacecrafts, this article proposes a system for high-precision estimation of relative position and orientation between two satellites. Through vision cameras on the chaser satellite and co-designed LED targets on the target satellite, precise relative pose measurement is achieved within 0.4−50 meters. To ensure clear imaging within the effective range, both far-field and near-field LED targets were designed. A multi-scale centroid extraction algorithm was proposed based on target characteristics, while slope consistency constraints and spacing ratio screening were employed to guarantee target feature acquisition under complex illumination conditions. Pose estimation utilizes target geometric constraints as initial values, employing iterative nonlinear optimization to refine results and effectively reduce measurement errors. Test results demonstrate progressively improving measurement accuracy from far to near distances. At 0.4 meters, position estimation achieves sub-millimeter precision while orientation estimation maintains sub-degree accuracy, meeting ultra-close-range docking requirements. This solution provides high-precision, high-stability technical support for relative position and orientation estimation between on-orbit space targets, demonstrating significant engineering application value.
