MARTIAN: A Rendering Framework for Aerial Mars Imagery from HiRISE Orbital Data
Dario Pisanti, Georgios Georgakis
Aerial navigation on Mars requires vision-based pipelines that are robust to the diverse illumination conditions and terrain morphology of the Martian surface. A key bottleneck for…
Geometry-aided Vision-based Localization of Future Mars Helicopters in Challenging Illumination Conditions
Dario Pisanti, Robert Hewitt, Roland Brockers +1
Planetary exploration using aerial assets has the potential for unprecedented scientific discoveries on Mars. While NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity proved flight in Martian atmosp…
Enhancing the Quality of 3D Lunar Maps Using JAXA's Kaguya Imagery
Yumi Iwashita, Haakon Moe, Yang Cheng +6
As global efforts to explore the Moon intensify, the need for high-quality 3D lunar maps becomes increasingly critical-particularly for long-distance missions such as NASA's Endura…
Robust Visual Localization in Compute-Constrained Environments by Salient Edge Rendering and Weighted Hamming Similarity
Tu-Hoa Pham, Philip Bailey, Daniel Posada +5
We consider the problem of vision-based 6-DoF object pose estimation in the context of the notional Mars Sample Return campaign, in which a robotic arm would need to localize multi…
