Using Allan Variance Based Semi-Parameter Model to Calibrate Pointing Errors of Alt-az Telescopes

In this paper, a new model called Allan variance based semi-parameter model is put forward to improve the pointing precision for alt-az telescopes. As for electro-optical tracking systems, the precision of line-of-sight (LOS) pointing is seriously influenced by both geometric and nonlinear error sou...
