Array FBG sensing and 3D reconstruction of spacecraft configuration

In this paper, a plate shape perception technique based on quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating(FBG) array and space surface reconstruction algorithm is proposed. Firstly, in order to make curvature continuous, the bicubic plane interpolation algorithm is studied. Then, taking the simulated satellite bulkhead structure as the research object, we research the space surface reconstruction algorithm based on orthogonal curvature and coordinate transformation(translation and rotation). Finally, a four-sided fixed plate deformation monitoring system based on quasi-distributed FBG sensors network and surface reconstruction algorithm is built. Many experiments are conducted to verify the reliability and accuracy of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm provides a new method for three-dimensional reconstruction of spacecraft structure.
