The invention relates to a large-view-field
star sensor, and provides a large-view-field
star sensor based on bionic compound eyes in order to solve the problems that when an existing
star sensor adopts a small-view-field imaging
system, a tracking cradle head needs to be used in cooperation, and
system integration and integration are insufficient due to the fact that an existing design based on asimilar
compound eye structure is adopted. The star sensor comprises a spherical lens group unit, an optical conversion unit and a
data processing unit which are sequentially arranged along an
optical path; the spherical lens group unit comprises a support shell and a plurality of lens groups; the plurality of lens groups are installed on the support shell and are arranged independently, an incident surface is distributed on the spherical surface of the support shell, and the incident
optical axis points to the sphere center of a sphere where the spherical surface at the front part of the support shell is located to form a view field with a preset angle; the optical conversion unit comprises a plurality of coaxially-arranged lenses, and an
optical axis penetrates through the sphere centerof the sphere where the front spherical surface of the supporting shell is located; and the
data processing unit is used for receiving the continuous plane images, converting the continuous plane images into discrete digital images and extracting fixed star
centroid points from the discrete digital images.
