Abstract

This paper presents the algorithm for attitude determination of an aircraft using binary image. An image feature vector, which is invariant to translation, scale and rotation, is constructed to capture the functional relations between the feature vector and the corresponding aircraft attitude. An iterated least squares method is suggested for estimating the attitude of given aircraft using the constructed feature vector library. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm yields good estimates of aircraft attitude in most viewing range, although a relatively large error occurs in some limited viewing direction.
