The invention discloses an attitude standard deviation
estimation and
correction method of a
star sensor and a
payload. The attitude standard deviation
estimation and
correction method comprises the following steps of 1, according to
payload characteristics, determining a location formula of an incident light vector of a
payload and building a payload error model with payload standard deviation, 2, according to
star sensor characteristics, building a
star sensor error model with star sensor standard deviation, 3, through the payload, determining measured deviation by
observation data of a known target and corresponding star sensor measured data, and building a payload and star sensor standard deviation measurement equation according to the measured deviation, the payload standard deviation and the star sensor standard deviation, 4, carrying out
estimation of the star sensor or payload standard deviation according to the payload and star sensor standard deviation measurement equation, and 5, correcting the star sensor or payload measured data by the estimated standard deviation. The attitude standard deviation estimation and
correction method can reduce star sensor and imaging payload attitude standard deviation and improve
imaging quality and an image positioning precision.
