The invention discloses a spatial orientation
measuring instrument precision evaluation method based on single-star projection. The method comprises the specific steps of: firstly, calculating an observation vector of each star point in a
measuring instrument body system according to the position coordinates of the star points and a
calibration coefficient; secondly, searching an inertial vector corresponding to the star point according to a navigation star number, and projecting the inertial vector to the instrument
body system according to an attitude matrix, so as to obtain a projection position vector of the navigation star in the
system; thirdly, calculating the deviation of the projection position vector relative to the observation vector, and calculating a three-axis error angle according to a
measuring instrument imaging model; and finally, calculating a
weight coefficient corresponding to each identified star in the frame of star map according to star magnitude, and comprehensively evaluating the
measurement precision of the frame according to a multi-star
attitude determination principle. Compared with a polynomial fitting method based on multi-frame analysis and a difference method based on adjacent two-frame analysis, the influence of a
spacecraft platform on the method is minimum, and the
evaluation result is closest to the
measurement precision of an instrument.
