Research on network configurations of videogrammetry for the profile of gossamer inflatable antenna

Abstract

In order to enhance the precision of videogrammetry for the profile of large-scale antenna, multi-station network is necessary, which will also affect the reliability, efficiency and stability of the results. In this paper, the impacts of normal and convergent configurations on the precision of space targets are discussed. Constraints, including image scale, depth of field, field of view, and distribution of image points, which affect the network configurations, must be taken into account. Specific network configurations for the large-scale gossamer inflatable antenna are designed and experimental data results verify the conclusions.
