In this paper, a new crater detection algorithm is suggested. Experimental studies show that this new algorithm can achieve sub-pixel accuracy in position, its detection rate is better than 90% and its false alarm rate is less than 5%. These good characteristics indicate that it is an ideal crater detection algorithm for spacecraft optical navigation.
In this paper we describe a methodology for long-distance navigation that meets the goal of finding an accurate method for tracking the robot position in the environment.
This paper examines techniques for a mobile robot to perform self-localization in natural terrain by comparing a dense range map computed from stereo imagery to a range map in a known frame of reference.
This paper examines the extraction of geometric primitives from two- and three-dimensional image data. The geometric primitives are represented by parametric manifolds in the image space, such as circles, planes, and cylinders.
