Abstract. Satellite imaging direction angles, including the azimuth angle and the incidence angle, are the basic information used for satellite camera network structure analysis. They play an important role in 3D reconstruction using satellite images. In this paper, a satellite imaging direction angle estimation method based on rational polynomial coefficients is proposed for use when the satellite imaging direction angles are not available. Using rational polynomial coefficients, a vertical line on the ground is projected into the image plane, and the satellite imaging direction angles are estimated by analyzing the projection. Satellite images acquired by SPOT6, SOPT7 and Pleiades with different satellite imaging direction angles were used to test the feasibility of the proposed method. The experimental results were analyzed in detail combined with the method and the data. The experimental results show that the azimuth angle estimation error is less than 1.30 degrees, and the incidence angle estimation error is less than 0.83 degrees. This level of accuracy is sufficient for satellite camera network structure analysis.

Acoustic source localization is used in many underwater applications. Acquiring an accurate directional angle for an acoustic source is crucial for source localization. To achieve this purpose, this paper presents a method for directional angle estimation of underwater acoustic sources using a marine vehicle. It is assumed that the vehicle is equipped with two hydrophones and that the acoustic source transmits a specific signal repeatedly. The proposed method provides a probabilistic model for time delay estimation. The probability is recursively updated by prediction and update steps. The prediction step performs a probability transition using the angular displacement of the marine vehicle. The predicted probability is updated using a generalized cross correlation function with a verification process using entropy measurement. The proposed method can provide a reliable and accurate estimation of the directional angles of underwater acoustic sources. Experimental results demonstrate good performance of the proposed probabilistic directional angle estimation method in both an inland water environment and a harbor environment.

Aiming at two-dimensional (2D) coherent distributed (CD) sources, this paper has proposed a direction of arrival (DOA) tracking algorithm based on signal subspace updating under the uniform rectangular array (URA). First, based on the hypothesis of small angular spreads of distributed sources, the rotating invariant relations of the signal subspace of the receive vector of URA are derived. An ESPRIT-like method is constructed for DOA estimation using two adjacent parallel linear arrays of URA. Through the synthesis of estimation by multiple groups of parallel linear arrays within URA arrays, the DOA estimation method for 2D CD sources based on URA is obtained. Then, fast approximated power iteration (FAPI) subspace tracking algorithm is used to update the signal subspace. In this way, DOA tracking of 2D CD sources can be realized by DOA estimation through signal subspace updating. This algorithm has a low computational complexity and good real-time tracking performance. In addition, the algorithm can track multiple CD sources without knowing the angular signal distribution functions, which is robust to model errors.
