通过双自适应噪声调节,提升卫星捕获时的相对姿态估计精度与鲁棒性。

Adaptive Relative Pose Estimation Framework with Dual Noise Tuning for Safe Approaching Maneuvers

  • 用CNN检测图像特征点,结合相机模型转为3D测量值
  • 双自适应策略:动态调测量和过程噪声,应对不确定性
  • 适合需要高精度接近操作的在轨空间任务,如清理废弃卫星

精确且鲁棒的相对姿态估计算法对执行挑战性的主动碎片清除(ADR)任务至关重要,特别是针对如欧空局的ENVISAT这类翻滚废弃卫星。本文提出一个完整流程,融合先进计算机视觉技术与自适应非线性滤波方法。基于卷积神经网络(CNN)并结合图像预处理,从追踪器图像中检测结构标记点(角点),其2D坐标通过相机建模转换为3D测量值。这些测量值在无迹卡尔曼滤波(UKF)框架中融合,以估计完整的相对姿态。关键贡献包括集成系统架构,以及在UKF中的双自适应策略:动态调整测量噪声协方差以补偿CNN测量不确定性;通过残差分析自适应调整过程噪声协方差,以在线应对未建模动力学或机动。该双适应显著提升了对测量误差和模型不确定性的鲁棒性。通过使用真实感ENVISAT模型的高保真仿真,评估了所提自适应集成系统的性能,在多种条件下(包括测量中断)与真值对比,验证了其在复杂环境下的优越表现。该方法为安全的在轨近距离操作提供了更强的导航能力,显著推进了ADR任务所需的技术水平。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate and robust relative pose estimation is crucial for enabling challenging Active Debris Removal (ADR) missions targeting tumbling derelict satellites such as ESA's ENVISAT. This work presents a complete pipeline integrating advanced computer vision techniques with adaptive nonlinear filtering to address this challenge. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), enhanced with image preprocessing, detects structural markers (corners) from chaser imagery, whose 2D coordinates are converted to 3D measurements using camera modeling. These measurements are fused within an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) framework, selected for its ability to handle nonlinear relative dynamics, to estimate the full relative pose. Key contributions include the integrated system architecture and a dual adaptive strategy within the UKF: dynamic tuning of the measurement noise covariance compensates for varying CNN measurement uncertainty, while adaptive tuning of the process noise covariance, utilizing measurement residual analysis, accounts for unmodeled dynamics or maneuvers online. This dual adaptation enhances robustness against both measurement imperfections and dynamic model uncertainties. The performance of the proposed adaptive integrated system is evaluated through high-fidelity simulations using a realistic ENVISAT model, comparing estimates against ground truth under various conditions, including measurement outages. This comprehensive approach offers an enhanced solution for robust onboard relative navigation, significantly advancing the capabilities required for safe proximity operations during ADR missions.
