Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, image processing technology has developed rapidly. Advanced technologies such as image recognition, image segmentation, object detection, and 3D image reconstruction have been thoroughly researched and applied to various emerging industries, such as autonomous driving, medical assistance, and security surveillance. In particular, the advancement in deep learning technology has overcome the image processing requirement of image content interpretability, which has greatly expanded the application scenarios of image processing technology. Based on the development and application of these new technologies in image processing, many challenges in previous image processing techniques have recently been solved. Research into new image processing techniques has brought about new improvements in the application scenarios of image processing.

This Special Issue aims to provide a communication platform for latest progress in relation to digital images. We are looking forward to publishing the latest original research results and review articles related to the topic of this Special Issue.

This paper addresses the issue of agile attitude maneuver control for low-Earth-orbit satellites during short arc segments for multi-target observations. Specifically, a configuration design for Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) and a hybrid control law are provided. The control law is adept at avoiding singularities and escaping singular planes. Subsequently, an optimal time-based attitude maneuver path-planning method is presented, rooted in the relationship between Euler angles/axis and quaternions. Furthermore, a novel satellite attitude maneuver controller is developed based on a piecewise power-reaching law for variable structure sliding mode control. The paper theoretically demonstrates that the proposed piecewise power reaching law possesses two favorable properties regarding convergence time. On the other hand, the designed reaching law maintains continuity at all stages, theoretically eliminating buffeting. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller achieves an Euler angle control precision of ±0.03° and angular velocity accuracy of ±0.15°/s, fulfilling the demands of multi-objective observational tasks. Compared to conventional power reaching law controllers, the convergence time is reduced by 3 s, and Euler angle accuracy is improved by 70%. This underscores the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Full article

In order to increase a nonlinear system’s state estimate precision, an iterated orthogonal simplex cubature Kalman filter (IOSCKF) is presented in this study for target tracking. The Gaussian-weighted integral is decomposed into a spherical integral and a radial integral, which are approximated using the spherical simplex-radial rule and second-order Gauss–Laguerre quadrature rule, respectively, and result in the novel simplex cubature rule. To decrease the high-order error terms, cubature points with appropriate weights are taken from the cubature rule and processed using the provided orthogonal matrix. The structure supporting the nonlinear Kalman filter incorporates the altered points and weights and the calculation steps; from this, the updated time and measurement can be inferred. The Gauss–Newton iteration is employed repeatedly to adjust the measurement update until the termination condition is met and the IOSCKF is attained. The proposed algorithms are applied in target tracking, including CV target tracking and spacecraft orbit tracking, and the simulation results reveal that the IOSCKF can achieve higher accuracy compared to the CKF, SCKF, and OSCKF. In spacecraft orbit tracking simulation, compared with the SCKF, the position tracking accuracy and velocity tracking accuracy of the OSCKF are increased by 2.21% and 1.94%, respectively, which indicates that the orthogonal transformation can improve the tracking accuracy. Furthermore, compared with the OSCKF, the position tracking accuracy and velocity tracking accuracy of the IOSCKF are increased by 2.71% and 2.97%, respectively, which indicates that the tracking accuracy can be effectively improved by introducing iterative calculation into the measurement equation, thus verifying the effectiveness of the method presented in this paper.
