An object orientation identification method and an object orientation identification device are provided. The method is adapted for the object orientation identification device including a wireless signal transceiver. The object orientation identification device and a target object are both in a moving state. The method includes the following. A first signal is continuously transmitted by the wireless signal transceiver. A second signal reflected back from the target object is received by the wireless signal transceiver. Signal pre-processing is performed on the first signal and the second signal to obtain moving information of the target object with respect to the object orientation identification device. The moving information is input into a deep learning model to obtain orientation information of the target object with respect to the object orientation identification device. A relative orientation between the object orientation identification device and the target object is identified according to the orientation information.

The machine also includes a three-dimensional position sensor spaced from an axis of rotation of the upper frame relative to the lower frame. The machine can also include a number of additional sensors including sensors to detect track movement, imaging sensors, ranging sensors, IMUs, linear displacement sensors and/or the like.

The positioning management device receives measurement information sent by the terminal device, where the measurement information includes the plurality of antenna identifiers of the terminal device and a measurement result that is of a downlink reference signal and that corresponds to each antenna identifier. The positioning management device determines positioning information of the terminal device based on the first information and the measurement information, where the positioning information includes one or more of the following information: absolute coordinates of the terminal device, orientation or posture information of the terminal device, a rotation angle of the terminal device, or uptilt and downtilt angles of the terminal device.

A method and apparatus for ranging finding of signal transmitting devices is provided. The method of signal reception is digitally based only and does not require receivers that are analog measurement devices. Ranging can be achieved using a single pulse emitting device operating in range spaced relation with a minimum of a single signal transmitter and a single digital receiver and processing circuitry. In general a plurality of transmitting pulsed emitters may be ranged and positioned virtually simultaneously in 3-dimensions (XYZ coordinates) using a configuration of a plurality of digital receivers arranged in any fixed 3-dimensional configuration. Applications may involve at least one single transmitter to receiver design to determine range, or at least one transmitted reflecting signal off from an object to determine range.

A method for calibrating spatial errors induced by phase biases having a detrimental effect on the measurements of phase differences of radio signals received by three unaligned receiving antennas of a vehicle. An inter-satellite angular deviation of a pair of satellites is estimated in two different ways: on the basis of the respective positions of the vehicle and of the satellites to obtain a theoretical inter-satellite angular deviation; and on the basis of the respective directions of incidence of the satellites relative to the vehicle, which are determined from phase measurements, to obtain an estimated inter-satellite angular deviation. The space errors are estimated on the basis of said theoretical and estimated inter-satellite angular deviations. Also, a method and system for estimating the attitude of a vehicle, in particular a spacecraft.

A method for monitoring position of and controlling a second nanosatellite (NS) relative to a position of a first NS. Each of the first and second NSs has a rectangular or cubical configuration of independently activatable, current-carrying solenoids, each solenoid having an independent magnetic dipole moment vector, μ1 and μ2. A vector force F and a vector torque are expressed as linear or bilinear combinations of the first set and second set of magnetic moments, and a distance vector extending between the first and second NSs is estimated. Control equations are applied to estimate vectors, μ1 and μ2, required to move the NSs toward a desired NS configuration. This extends to control of N nanosatellites.
