Performance Evaluation of the Image Total Station Astrogeodetic Positioning and Orientation System

Abstract

AbstractThe automatic astrogeodetic survey method based on total stations has emerged as the second near-Earth astrogeodetic technology after digital zenith cameras, offering high automation, precision, portability, and cost-effectiveness. The method ...Practical ApplicationsThis research develops the Image Total Station Astrogeodetic Positioning and Orientation System, ITSAPOS, addressing key pain points of traditional astronomical surveys—heavy reliance on skilled labor and difficulty in deploying in ...
