摘要：The device for determining the relative attitude and range of a chaser vehicleand of a target vehicle comprises, on the chaser, a camera for forming the image of afield of view of determined angular extent and, on the target, a set of several markers.The spacing between the markers is such that they are at least partially outside theangular field of view of the camera carried by the chaser when the range between thechaser and the target is less than a determined value, and the target (11) carries reflectormeans (16) which remain entirely within the field of view, even at ranges less than saidvalue, and which provide images of the markers (14) in the field of the camera.
