Application of Aps Arrays to Star and Feature Tracking Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reducing mass andpower demands from engineering and science image sensors, while improving system capability, remains a driving force in the development of Sciencecraft components. The Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) is developing advanced concepts for future spacecraft celestial trackers by incorporating active pixel sensor (APS) array technology into star and feature tracker designs. We describe fundamental APS array properties and characteristics, and discuss recent progress in APS designs directly applicable to next generation trackers. A description of a new regional electronic shutter design providing extremely high dynamic range and local shuttering capability is given along with test results from a prototype device. A new star and feature tracker concept enabled by this regional shuttering capability is described.

Increasing the Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems by Using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...

متن کاملDesign of robust carrier tracking systems in high dynamic and high noise conditions, with emphasis on neuro-fuzzy controller
The robust carrier tracking is defined as the ability of a receiver to determine the phase and frequency of the input carrier signal in unusual conditions such as signal loss, input signal fading, high receiver dynamic, or other destructive effects of propagation. An implementation of tight tracking can be understood in terms of adopting a very narrow loop bandwidth that contradict with the req...

Vehicle tracking is an important issue in Intelligence Transportation Systems (ITS) to estimate the location of vehicle in the next frame. In this paper, a feature-based vehicle tracking algorithm using Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) feature tracker is developed. In this algorithm, a merge and split-based hierarchical two-stage grouping algorithm is proposed to represent vehicles from the tracked fe...
