Automatic position and guidance system for space manipulator operation based on videometrics

摘要

Based on the principle of videometrics, this paper presents a visual positioning and navigation system for lunar soil sampling and encapsulation. The system uses local histogram technique to decrease the influence of complex light environment and sub-pixel correlation technique of camera measurement is used to overcome the influence of low resolution of monitor camera and improve the precision of measurement. It can provide pose parameters for space manipulator operation.
