The dynamic performance of star sensors is primarily affected by the smearing effect of star spots. To enhance the dynamic performance, it is necessary to perform blur kernel estimation and restoration of star images. However, the accuracy of motion parameters estimation of existing algorithms is not high enough, which limits the restoration effect...

Horizon edge localization accuracy and speed are key factors in the performance of horizon sensors. This paper proposes a high-performance sub-pixel edge localization algorithm base on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for horizon sensors. The algorithm is carefully designed and simplified according to the computational capabilities and limitati...

Horizon-based optical navigation (OPNAV) is an attractive solution for deep space exploration missions, with strong autonomy and high accuracy. In some scenarios, especially those with large variations in spacecraft distance from celestial bodies, the visible horizon arc could be very short. In this case, the traditional Christian–Robinson algorith...

Inadequate geometric accuracy of cameras is the main constraint to improving the precision of infrared horizon sensors with a large field of view (FOV). An enormous FOV with a blind area in the center greatly limits the accuracy and feasibility of traditional geometric calibration methods. A novel camera calibration method for infrared horizon sens...
