内容記述 | A Panoramic viewing system for Automated Rendezvous and Capture (PARC) has been proposed as a visual information feedback system for terminal docking/berthing. The system relies on a unique Panoramic Annular Lens (PAL) which captures an image of its surroundings in real time. This paper describes the evolution of the PAL along with technical details of its imaging capabilities. Several examples are given of radial metrology, where PAL imaging systems are used to perform visual inspections and measurements. Digital image acquisition and processing techniques, used to interpret various features appearing in the images and to transform images for improved human viewing, are also included. These discussions are followed by a potential application for PARC involving berthing of active and passive mechanical assemblies associated with Space Station Freedom. |
