SONIC API Documentation

This open-sourced, object oriented MATLAB package is a toolkit built on years of research in optical navigation (OPNAV), with a foundation in principled projective geometry. Many capabilities needed for space-flight OPNAV are made transparent and configurable within the SONIC classes, with minimal assumption of the analyst’s intentions. This allows each user to construct their own unique workflows for a specific research or analysis problems. SONIC was designed to help simplify navigation solutions such as (but not limited to):

  • Horizon-Based OPNAV

  • Triangulation

  • Star Identification

  • 3D-Reconstruction

  • And more

SONIC was created by the researchers and students of the Space Exploration Analysis Laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology for students, academic researchers, space science professionals, or anyone curious to learn more about OPNAV.
