A double-wedge prism device has been used in various imaging detection applications due to its high precision and strong anti-disturbance capability. In this paper, a self-adaptation double-wedge prism boresight adjustment principle suitable for both far-field and near-field target tracking is proposed. In order to realize this application, an adaptive variable boresight imaging tracking device is designed specifically. Then a tracking error model is established, and dynamic simulation, error evaluation, and sensitivity analysis are carried out according to the design objective. The experimental results show that the pitch angle deviation and azimuth angle deviation of the device are less than 6′, and the blind zone can be eliminated by adding a third wedge prism, thus achieving high-precision boresight adjustment and tracking.
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.
