Abstract
A new algorithm of satellite attitude determination is put forward which uses the information of camera’s measurements. The relationship of attitude angle and position of image spot was derived from imaging principle. According to the imaging character of CCD the measurement residual model of CCD camera represented by quaternion error was deduced, and the model was linearized in the case of small attitude angle. An attitude determination system was made up by gyros and camera, and the state error equation and measurement equation of the system were presented. Kalman filter was adopted to accomplish the attitude determination system. The conditions of attitude determination using camera were derived by analyzing the observability of the system. Results of simulation indicate that the high resolution of camera photo ensures that the system is capable of high accuracy and convergence speed. The offered algorithm is simple and effective.
