Autonomous Optical Navigation (AutoNav)
The first flight of NASA's New Millennium Program, DeepSpace 1, will include a new navigational technology: anautonomous optical navigation system. The D S 1Navigation system will be the first use of autonomousnavigation in deep space. The task for this system is to 1)perform interplanetary cruise orbit determination, usingimages of distant asteroids, 2) control and ...
متن کاملAutonomous Robot Navigation-A study using Optical Flow and log-polar image representation
This paper describes a methodology for autonomous robot navigation, based on log-polar transform of images and optical flow. The navigation task for robots involves the detection of obstacles in the traversable path. This is considered as basic capability for mobility that includes the measurement of the height of objects to classify them as to be avoided or to be ignored. The vanishing point i...
متن کاملInstruments on large optical telescopes - A case study
In the distant past, telescopes were known, first and foremost, for the sizes of their apertures. However, the astronomical output of a telescope is determined by both the size of the aperture as well as the capabilities of the attached instrument. Advances in technology (not merely those related to astronomical detectors) are now enabling astronomers to build extremely powerful instruments to ...
متن کاملA Neuro-fuzzy Approach to Autonomous Navigation
We present an approach to autonomous navigation based on the definition and identification of grounded concepts by integrated instances of Fuzzy ART. This is a fuzzy neural network system, able to learn to classify numerical input vectors into fuzzy classes, i.e., to build symbolic interpretations of data. Our system is able to learn a topological map derived from different sensors, and can nav...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation Results from the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Mission
In January, 2004, the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission landed two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, on the surface of Mars. Several autonomous navigation capabilities were employed in space for the first time in this mission. In the Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) phase, both landers used a vision system called the Descent Image Motion Estimation System (DIMES) to estimate horizontal veloci...
