A CCD Optical Sensor Based New Binocular Vision Measurement Algorithm for Rendezvous and Docking

In the final approach phase of space rendezvous and docking(RVD),as a primary measurement sensor,the CCD optical sensor can provide the information of relative navigation.The accuracy of its real-time measurement is the determinants on the success of RVD.A new binocular algorithm based on main CCD camera as the vision algorithm of CCD optical sensor for rendezvous and docking is studied in this paper.The noise resistance ability of the binocular measurement algorithm is studied by using theoretical analysis and results of numerical simulation are provided.
