Optimal crater landmark selection based on optical navigation performance factors for planetary landing

Planetary craters are natural navigation landmarks that widely exist and are easily observed. Optical navigation based on crater landmarks has become an important autonomous navigation method for planetary landing. Due to the increase in observed crater landmarks and the limitation of onboard computation, the selection of good crater landmarks has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of landmark-based optical navigation. This paper designs a fast crater landmark selection method, which not only considers the configuration observability of crater subsets but also focuses on the influence on navigation performance arising from the measurement uncertainty and the matching confidence of craters, which is different from other landmark selection methods. The factor of measurement uncertainty, which is anisotropic, correlated and nonidentically distributed, is quantified and integrated into selection based on crater pairing detection and localization error evaluation. In addition, the concept of the crater matching confidence factor is introduced, which reflects the possibility of 2D projection measurements corresponding to 3D positions. Combined with the configuration observability factor, the crater landmark selection indicator is formed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

MC-LRF based pose measurement system for shipborne aircraft automatic landing

Due to the portability and anti-interference ability, vision-based shipborne aircraft automatic landing systems have attracted the attention of researchers. In this paper, a Monocular Camera and Laser Range Finder (MC-LRF)-based pose measurement system is designed for shipborne aircraft automatic landing. First, the system represents the target ship using a set of sparse landmarks, and a two-stage model is adopted to detect landmarks on the target ship. The rough 6D pose is measured by solving a Perspective-n-Point problem. Then, once the rough pose is measured, a region-based pose refinement is used to continuously track the 6D pose in the subsequent image sequences. To address the low accuracy of monocular pose measurement in the depth direction, the designed system adopts a laser range finder to obtain an accurate range value. The measured rough pose is iteratively optimized using the accurate range measurement. Experimental results on synthetic and real images show that the system achieves robust and precise pose measurement of the target ship during automatic landing. The measurement means error is within 0.4° in rotation, and 0.2% in translation, meeting the requirements for automatic fixed-wing aircraft landing.Received 5 July 2022; revised 19 August 2022; accepted 27 September 2022.

Performance analysis of the vectorized high order expansions method in the accurate landing problem of reusable boosters

This paper addresses the design of the terminal phase maneuver of the booster landing in the presence of initial deviations and uncertainties. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the vectorized high order expansions method to extract commands and near-optimal trajectory, while the accurate satisfaction of the terminal conditions is of great importance. After reviewing high order expansions methods, the Vectorized High Order Expansions method is briefly discussed. Then, the solution for the booster landing problem is extracted up to the third order. To study the solution quality in the presence of uncertainties, mass, density, and gravity are assumed to be constant in extracting the 3rd order solution. The assumptions however are eliminated in the simulations, and the effectiveness of high order expansions solution is studied subjectively and numerically in the presence of initial deviations and uncertainties. After implementing simulations and considering different assumptions, it will be shown that the 3rd order solution holds a desirable quality in accurately satisfying final conditions in presence of uncertainties and initial deviations and provides far better results than the 1st order solution. Moreover, in this paper, a novel method is proposed for online updating, and the performance and effect of this modification are studied using simulations. Reviewing the results of the 3rd order solution combined with the online update strategy, it becomes clear that the implementation of the online update significantly reduces landing point errors and improves the performance of the high order method. Furthermore, the study compares the performance of this strategy with the well-known state-dependent Riccati equation method to better evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
