| description | A miniaturized video satellite can observe the ground targets by recording real-time video clips in staring control mode and therefore obtains a unique advantage over traditional remote sensing techniques. To further extend the application of a video satellite, a strategy for simultaneously observing a group of ground targets is to be developed. To cope with the impacts of an uncalibrated camera on the pointing accuracy which can lead to the failure of a multi-target observation task, an adaptive attitude control method is to be exploited. Hence, to observe multiple ground targets using an onboard uncalibrated camera, this paper proposes an image-based adaptive staring attitude controller. First, a target-selection strategy is proposed to realize a more balanced staring observation of the target group. Second, an updating law is proposed to estimate the camera parameters according to the projection equations. At last, an adaptive staring controller based on the estimated parameters is formulated, so that the center of mass of the ground targets on the image can be controlled towards its desired location, which is normally the image center. The stability of the proposed staring controller is proved using Barbalat’s Lemma. The simulation results show that even though the camera parameters are uncertain, the adaptive control method effectively achieves the staring observation for multiple ground targets by keeping their midpoint at the image center. |
