relativeODuKF¶

This module filters position measurements that have been processed from planet images in order to estimate spacecraft relative position to an observed body in the inertial frame. The filter used is an unscented Kalman filter, and the images are first processed by houghCricles and pixelLineConverter in order to produce this filter’s measurements.

The module PDF Description contains further information on this module’s function, how to run it, as well as testing.

Functions

void SelfInit_relODuKF(RelODuKFConfig *configData, int64_t moduleId)¶

This method creates the two moduel output messages.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter

void CrossInit_relODuKF(RelODuKFConfig *configData, int64_t moduleId)¶

This method performs the second stage of initialization for the OD filter. It’s primary function is to link the input messages that were created elsewhere.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter

void Update_relODuKF(RelODuKFConfig *configData, uint64_t callTime, int64_t moduleId)¶

This method takes the relative position measurements and outputs an estimate of the spacecraft states in the intertial frame.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter
callTime: The clock time at which the function was called (nanoseconds)

void Reset_relODuKF(RelODuKFConfig *configData, uint64_t callTime, int64_t moduleId)¶

This method resets the relative OD filter to an initial state and initializes the internal estimation matrices.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter
callTime: The clock time at which the function was called (nanoseconds)

void relODuKFTwoBodyDyn(double state[ODUKF_N_STATES], double mu, double *stateDeriv)¶

Function for two body dynamics solvers in order to use in the RK4. Only two body dynamics is used currently, but SRP, Solar Gravity, spherical harmonics can be added here.

Return

double Next state

Parameters

state: The starting state

int relODuKFTimeUpdate(RelODuKFConfig *configData, double updateTime)¶

This method performs the time update for the relative OD kalman filter. It propagates the sigma points forward in time and then gets the current covariance and state estimates.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter
updateTime: The time that we need to fix the filter to (seconds)

int relODuKFMeasUpdate(RelODuKFConfig *configData)¶

This method performs the measurement update for the kalman filter. It applies the observations in the obs vectors to the current state estimate and updates the state/covariance with that information.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter
updateTime: The time that we need to fix the filter to (seconds)

void relODuKFCleanUpdate(RelODuKFConfig *configData)¶

This method cleans the filter states after a bad upadate on the fly. It removes the potentially corrupted previous estimates and puts the filter back to a working state.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter

void relODStateProp(RelODuKFConfig *configData, double *stateInOut, double dt)¶

This method propagates a relative OD state vector forward in time. Note that the calling parameter is updated in place to save on data copies.

Return

void

Parameters

stateInOut: The state that is propagated

void relODuKFMeasModel(RelODuKFConfig *configData)¶

This method computes the measurement model. Given that the data is coming from the pixelLine Converter, the transformation has already taken place from pixel data to spacecraft position.

Return

void

Parameters

configData: The configuration data associated with the OD filter
