A new method for space object pose determination by single image with known exterior orientation parameters is proposed. Initial values of object pose under world coordinate system are acquired by space resection and coordinate transformation. Then
precise pose parameters are obtained by least squares adjustment with collinearity equations where the exterior orientation parameters are known. The proposed approach avoids the synchronization problem of determining object pose with two or more cameras. Both simulated and real data experiments verify the correctness and validity of the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the precision of pose determination is significantly influenced by focal length of camera and distance between object and camera
thus the number of control points and focal length ought to be fully considered according to the precision requisition for application.
