Abstract

An attitude determination system consisted of monocular computer vision, triaxial fiber optic gyroscope and two-axis inclinometer is presented, which aims to meet the demand of the five degrees of freedom air-bearing testbed according to actual situation. Ground computer captures images and recognizes pixel coordinates of indicating lamps on the air-bearing testbed, and then the yaw angle can be calculated by formula. Tracking differentiator is used to reduce calculation region and improve processing frequency from 7 Hz to 12 Hz. Based on Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filtering technique, an attitude determination algorithm is designed by using quaternion. The experiment result proves that the attitude of the air-bearing testbed can be estimated and corrected accurately by the proposed system.
