GADS (Graphic Attitude Determination System) Algorithm Development Under Engineering Analysis Task

Abstract

Under the Engineering Analysis Task of Contract F08635- 87-C-0074, two development efforts pertaining to GADS (Graphic Attitude Determination System) algorithms were pursued. These efforts resulted in two upgrades to the GADS algorithms. The first upgrade resulted from a direct linear algebra solution for the model drawing equations for a body of revolution. The second upgrade resulted from developing an error analysis that is driven by the model being displayed to determine an estimated covariance for the errors in the position and attitude of the model being fit to the displayed image.
