Abstract :
A new computer vision method for estimating the relative parameters of spacecraft docking system is presented. Based on binocular computer vision system, the relative mathematical model between the two spacecrafts is established. The relative position and attitude parameters are obtained using optimization approach. It has advantages over the traditional methods. Simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed method.<>
