Magnetometers are essential sensors for attitude estimation application in small spacecrafts due to their robust, inexpensive and lightweight characteristics. However, their direct usage is not applicable due to sensor errors. These errors limit the overall attitude estimation accuracy. This study proposes a complete real-time attitude independent magnetometer calibration algorithm for spinning aerospace vehicles. The recursive algorithm aims estimating the complete error state; consisting bias, scale factor and misalignment corrections, in real-time and without requiring any attitude information. To build the algorithm the well-known attitude-independent observation that is based on the magnitude of the sensed magnetic field is aided with new introduced quasi-measurements. The algorithm is tested with both simulations and real spacecraft data. Four quasi-measurements, which are derived using dynamic characteristics and orbital properties of the aerospace vehicle, considerably improve the convergence characteristics and estimation accuracy of the filter.

Real-Time Attitude Independent Calibration of Spinning Spacecraft Magnetometers Using Quasi-Measurements Cetin, Mustafa Efe; Söken, Halil Ersin; Sakai, Shin-ichiro (2022-11-01) Magnetometers are essential sensors for attitude estimation in small spacecraft due to their robust, inexpensive, and lightweight characteristics. However, the raw measurements contain sensor errors. These errors degrade the attitude estimation accuracy. This study proposes a complete real-time attitude-independent magnetometer calibration algorithm for spinning spacecraft. The recursive algorithm aims to estimate the full error state, bias, scale factor, and non-orthogonality corrections in real-time and w...
Dynamic stiffness-based test systems for viscoelastic material characterization: Design considerations Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Batihan, Ali Cagri (2012-07-24) In this paper, several important design issues for viscoelastic material characterization test systems which utilize dynamic stiffness measurements are discussed. These discussions are focused on structural dynamics aspects of the design of these test systems. These test systems are used to experimentally obtain the complex modulus of viscoelastic solids such as rubber, plastics, etc. Various standards exist on dynamic stiffness-based viscoelastic material characterization test methods, which give general g...
EndNet: Sparse AutoEncoder Network for Endmember Extraction and Hyperspectral Unmixing Ozkan, Savas; Kaya, Berk; Akar, Gözde (2019-01-01) Data acquired from multichannel sensors are a highly valuable asset to interpret the environment for a variety of remote sensing applications. However, low spatial resolution is a critical limitation for previous sensors, and the constituent materials of a scene can be mixed in different fractions due to their spatial interactions. Spectral unmixing is a technique that allows us to obtain the material spectral signatures and their fractions from hyperspectral data. In this paper, we propose a novel endmembe...
Computational Design and Analysis of Efficient Couplers for Nano-optical Links Altinoklu, A.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01) We present rigorous optimization and design of efficient couplers to improve optical transmission along nanowires. It is well-known that nanowires are excellent tools to transmit electromagnetic power in nano-optical systems, while couplers become inevitable at critical locations, particularly in input/output regions and at corners if nanowires are bended. We use genetic algorithms supported by fast full-wave solutions to efficiently and accurately obtain effective couplers in alternative scenarios. The des...
Exploiting energy-aware spatial correlation in wireless sensor networks Shah, Ghalib A.; Bozyigit, Muslim (2007-01-12) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of applications, which require dense sensor nodes deployment. Due to high density of nodes, spatially redundant or correlated data is generated. Redundancy increases the reliability level of information delivery but increases the energy consumption of the nodes too. Since energy conservation is a key issue for WSNs, therefore, spatial correlation can be exploited to deactivate some of the nodes generating redundant information. ...
