Pentagram star pattern identification algorithm applied in three-head star sensors

A pentagram star pattern identification algorithm for three-head star sensors was proposed. Its realization scheme was presented completely. Simulated star maps were produced by letting the three-head star sensor travel around the celestial sphere randomly and image the observed stars. Monte Carlo e...

Summary:A pentagram star pattern identification algorithm for three-head star sensors was proposed. Its realization scheme was presented completely. Simulated star maps were produced by letting the three-head star sensor travel around the celestial sphere randomly and image the observed stars. Monte Carlo experiments were carried out. The performances of the pentagram algorithm were evaluated. It proves that its identification success rate reaches up to 98%.
