Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of in orbit attitude estimation error accuracy optimization of complex structure spacecraft such as 'China Space Station', an attitude estimation method based on multi-linear structure feature optimization selection is proposed. Firstly, the spatial position of the equivalent imaging plane is obtained by singular value decomposition (SVD). Then the typical components of the spacecraft are segmented by Unet3+ neural network, so the linear structure of each component is obtained. Finally, the attitude of the spacecraft in orbit is solved by an optimal estimation problem. Simulation and experimental results show that compared with the existing methods, the proposed method can realize the automatic extraction of structural features and effectively reduce the attitude estimation error.

Key words: inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), attitude estimation, imaging plane, component segmentation
