Explainable Convolutional Networks for Crater Detection and Lunar Landing Navigation
Jianing Song, Nabil Aouf, Duarte Rondao +2
The Lunar landing has drawn great interest in lunar exploration in recent years, and autonomous lunar landing navigation is fundamental to this task. AI is expected to play a criti…
Orbital AI-based Autonomous Refuelling Solution
Duarte Rondao, Lei He, Nabil Aouf
Cameras are rapidly becoming the choice for on-board sensors towards space rendezvous due to their small form factor and inexpensive power, mass, and volume costs. When it comes to…
ChiNet: Deep Recurrent Convolutional Learning for Multimodal Spacecraft Pose Estimation
Duarte Rondao, Nabil Aouf, Mark A. Richardson
This paper presents an innovative deep learning pipeline which estimates the relative pose of a spacecraft by incorporating the temporal information from a rendezvous sequence. It…
Deep Learning-based Spacecraft Relative Navigation Methods: A Survey
Jianing Song, Duarte Rondao, Nabil Aouf
Autonomous spacecraft relative navigation technology has been planned for and applied to many famous space missions. The development of on-board electronics systems has enabled the…
Using Convolutional Neural Networks for Relative Pose Estimation of a Non-Cooperative Spacecraft with Thermal Infrared Imagery
Maxwell Hogan, Duarte Rondao, Nabil Aouf +1
Recent interest in on-orbit servicing and Active Debris Removal (ADR) missions have driven the need for technologies to enable non-cooperative rendezvous manoeuvres. Such manoeuvre…
Robust On-Manifold Optimization for Uncooperative Space Relative Navigation with a Single Camera
Duarte Rondao, Nabil Aouf, Mark A. Richardson +1
Optical cameras are gaining popularity as the suitable sensor for relative navigation in space due to their attractive sizing, power and cost properties when compared to convention…
