The sub-pixel peak position estimation performance of the Linear Phase algorithm was enhanced and extended for use with a two-dimensional sensor. The two-dimensional system is composed of orthogonal pairs of slits diffracting light onto a single pixel array. The adaptation of the Linear Phase algorithm into the two-dimensional system was performed by manipulating the sensor image into two one-dimensional images. Performance testing used simulated sensor output and images attained from a real sun-sensor. The Linear Phase algorithm was then implemented into an embedded system to simulate onboard processing. A C8051 microcontroller was used as the embedded microcontroller. Results from the embedded processing were compared against the native Matlab implementation for consistency in sub-pixel peak position estimation performance. The Linear Phase algorithm was able to perform with excellent results, comparable to current two-dimensional sun-sensor algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
