Error analysis of satellite attitude determination using a vision-based approach

Improvements in communication and processing technologies have opened the doors to exploit on-board cameras to compute objects’ spatial attitude using only the visual information from sequences of remote sensed images. The strategies and the algorithmic approach used to extract such information affect the estimation accuracy of the three-axis orientation of the object.This work presents a method for analyzing the most relevant error sources, including numerical ones, possible drift effects and their influence on the overall accuracy, referring to vision-based approaches. The method in particular focuses on the analysis of the image registration algorithm, carried out through on-purpose simulations. The overall accuracy has been assessed on a challenging case study, for which accuracy represents the fundamental requirement. In particular, attitude determination has been analyzed for small satellites, by comparing theoretical findings to metric results from simulations on realistic ground-truth data. Significant laboratory experiments, using a numerical control unit, have further confirmed the outcome.We believe that our analysis approach, as well as our findings in terms of error characterization, can be useful at proof-of-concept design and planning levels, since they emphasize the main sources of error for visual based approaches employed for satellite attitude estimation. Nevertheless, the approach we present is also of general interest for all the affine applicative domains which require an accurate estimation of three-dimensional orientation parameters (i.e., robotics, airborne stabilization).

Integration of high-resolution imagery and LiDAR data for object-based classification of urban area

This paper investigates the synergistic use of high-resolution multispectral imagery and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for object-based classification of urban area. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a semi-automated object-based and rule-based classification method. In the implemented approach, the diverse knowledge about land use/land cover classes are transformed into a set of specialized rules. Further, this paper explores supervised Gaussian Mixture Models for classification, which have been primarily used for unsupervised classification. The work is carried out on test data from two different sites. Contribution of the LiDAR data resulted in a significant improvement of overall Kappa. Accuracy assessment carried out for aforementioned classification methods shows higher overall kappa for both the study sites.

Skyline-based registration of 3D laser scans

Acquisition and registration of terrestrial 3D laser scans is a fundamental task in mapping and modeling of cities in three dimensions. To automate this task marker-free registration methods are required. Based on the existence of skyline features, this paper proposes a novel method. The skyline features are extracted from panoramic 3D scans and encoded as strings enabling the use of string matching for merging the scans. Initial results of the proposed method in the old city center of Bremen are pre-sented.
