In this paper, a flexible approach for CCD camera calibration using 2D direct linear transformation （DLT） and bundle adjustment is proposed. The proposed approach assumes that the camera interior orientation elements are known, and addresses a new closed form solution in planar object space based on homogenous coordinate representation and matrix factorization. Homogeneous coordinate representation offers a direct matrix correspondence between the parameters of the 2D DLT and the collinearity equation. The matrix factorization starts by recovering the elements of the rotation matrix and then solving for the camera position with the collinearity equation. Camera calibration with high precision is addressed by bundle adjustment using the initial values of the camera orientation elements. The results show that the calibration precision of principal point and focal length is about 0.2 and 0.3 pixels respectivelv, which can meet the requirements of close-range photogrammetry with high accuracy.展开更多

The proposed algorithm utilizes the nonlinear observel to estimate the vehicle＇s attitude information based on inertial measurement unit. Then the estimated angles and angular velocities are used to stabilize the antenna beam. Experiment results show tha｜ the proposed algorithm can stabilize the antenna beam when the tracking information is available, indicating that it is competent to the SOTM system.展开更多
