This article presents a new sensor fusion method for visual simultaneous localization and
mapping (SLAM) through integration of a monocular camera and a 1D-laser range finder. …

This paper proposes a linear method for simultaneously calibrating the distortion coefficients
and intrinsic parameters of a camera by using a single image, based on the division model …

To enhance the dynamic performance and stability of spacecraft attitude measurement, a
commonly adopted approach is to integrate a star sensor with an inertial gyroscope. While an …

This paper proposes a novel drogue measurement method based on monocular vision for
autonomous aerial refueling task in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Firstly, to solve the …

Drogue detection is a crucial component for autonomous aerial refueling. Drogue detection
requires robust detection of the drogue in real time and different environments. A real-time …

High-precision lunar scene 3D data are essential for lunar exploration and the construction
of scientific research stations. Currently, most existing data from orbital imagery offers …

Monocular vision is one of the most commonly used noncontact six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF)
pose estimation methods. However, the large translational DOF measurement error …

The star sensor boasts the highest accuracy in spacecraft attitude measurement. However,
it is vulnerable to disturbances, including high-dynamic motion, stray light, and various in-…

Attitude update rate is one of the important indicators of star sensor performance. In order to
resolve the problem of the low attitude update rate of star sensors, this paper proposes a star …

Star identification plays a key role in spacecraft attitude measurement. Currently, most star
identification algorithms tend to perform well only in a scene without noise and are highly …
