On-board State Estimation for Planetary Aerobots

Oscillatory balloon systems with telerobotic capabilities are being studied to support future space exploration by probes which will move up and down in a planetary atmosphere, land and explore numerous surface sites.

Planetary

Computer vision

The field of computer vision is surveyed and assessed, key research issues are identified, and possibilities for a future vision system are discussed. The problems of descriptions of two and three dimensional worlds are discussed. The representation of such features as texture, edges, curves, and corners are detailed. Recognition methods are described in which cross correlation coefficients are maximized or numerical values for a set of features are measured. Object tracking is discussed in terms of the robust matching algorithms that must be devised. Stereo vision, camera control and calibration, and the hardware and systems architecture are discussed.
