Encoded LED System for Optical Trackers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since introducing a hybrid vision-inertial tracker using passive fiducial markers, we have encountered several applications in which the use of encoded LEDs would be preferable to paper fiducials. This includes small-scale applications requiring higher precision, and applications where the size of the target, or the range of viewing angles, or operation in the dark is important. We present a novel technique to encode LEDs without any need for synchronization between the LEDs and cameras. By using amplitude modulation codes instead of blinking binary codes, the LED is always on, and can therefore be tracked after it has been decoded at an arbitrary or even non-periodic frame rate with no missed data.

Star identification is one of the most important stages in attitude determination with star trackers. This can be performed using matching algorithms between observed stars and a master star catalogue. The main challenge in this approach is to provide a fast and reliable identification algorithm that is sufficiently robust in different pointing views of the star tracker optical system in the sp...
متن کاملIndoor Non-directed Optical Wireless Communications - Optimization of the Lambertian Order
For an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (NLOS-OWC) system we investigate the optimized Lambertian order (OLO) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We firstly derive an expression for the OLO from a conventional Lambertian LED model. Then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell NLOS-OWC channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...
متن کاملReducing Systematic Centroid Errors Induced by Fiber Optic Faceplates in Intensified High-Accuracy Star Trackers
Compared with traditional star trackers, intensified high-accuracy star trackers equipped with an image intensifier exhibit overwhelmingly superior dynamic performance. However, the multiple-fiber-optic faceplate structure in the image intensifier complicates the optoelectronic detecting system of star trackers and may cause considerable systematic centroid errors and poor attitude accuracy. Al...

The star tracker is a high-accuracy attitude measurement device widely used in spacecraft. Its performance depends largely on the precision of the optical system parameters. Therefore, the analysis of the optical system parameter errors and a precise calibration model are crucial to the accuracy of the star tracker. Research in this field is relatively lacking a systematic and universal analysi...
