Abstract

Global tracking performance analysis in near-real time for the space-based missile warning system is an architecture level demand for the system designers. The traditional method which based on Monte Carlo simulations cannot meet the demand for its time-consuming nature. In this paper, non-simulation rapid performance prediction methods in stereopsis and monocular observation conditions are studied. The latter, though inevitable, has not been taken into account in other literatures. Furthermore, we also find the geometrical symmetry for monocular observation and propose a rapid analysis method called compass of performance based on this symmetry.
