Telescope3D: Positioning & Stabilization

Total System Positioning & Stabilization

more coming soon...

Hardware Sensing

Derived from CCD Optics:

  • 2D Imaging: "obvious" positions marks, usually requires "clear skies, etc." -- simliar to the "star mask" techniques
  • 2D Imaging & Processing: 2D image analysis can detect more subtle differences caused by position change.
  • 3D shifts emulating "laser-gyro" positions

    Hardware configurations include alternative geometry spherical forms with attached CCDs. (renderings coming)

    @any given time slice the rest of the sensors "unused for imaging" can be applied towards positioning & stabilization.

    Additional dedicated devices can be used for triangulation GPS/APRS, and other networks can be used for initial calibration.

    Hardware Tools
    Like most of Telescope3D, hardware control is also modularized, and swappable for different designs schemas.
          vm-positioning-stablization (virtual and physical device control for positioning & stablization)

    The cellular CCD hardware control tools also provide feedback for Positioning & Stablization:

    4D Lense: pov-alt.geospheres

    This modular component uses POV-Ray to visualize and pov-plot to graph spinning alternative spherical forms (such as geodesic spheres). In addition to the 4D-Lense component of povgen-vm-cells, further application includes:
  • position sensing *
  • "ambient" position control *
  • stablization control *
  • beyond 4D and into hyperspace with quiver

    • *with feedback for tuning & calibration
