The work is devoted to an analysis of the possibilities to use multiresolution in optical navigation systems. Such systems are used to provide information support for spacecraft docking processes in a completely automatic mode. The article notes a certain analogy of solving recognition problems in technical vision systems and in wildlife, in particular, in the human vision system. The main attention is paid to the use of multiresolution mode in solving problems of spacecraft recognition in a wide range of distances, as well as in measuring relative coordinates. Multiresolution can significantly reduce the computational costs of image processing in the recognition process and, most importantly, the amount of reference images needed to solve recognition and relative coordinate measuring problems. This is very important since the preparation of reference images information for docking with uncooperative spacecrafts that are not equipped with special docking targets is a very laborious process. Since the multiresolution directly affects the accuracy of the measurements of relative coordinates, numerical and analytical estimates of the influence of this factor on the measurement accuracy are made. The evaluations confirmed that the deterioration in the accuracy of the estimates at medium and short distances is quite acceptable. At large distances, multiresolution does not degrade measurement accuracy in any way.
Keywords: spacecraft navigation, vision systems, operating range
