متن کاملOnline Assessment of Landing Sites
Assessing a landing zone (LZ) reliably is essential for safe operation of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicles that land at unimproved locations. Currently an operator has to rely on visual assessment to make an approach decision; however. visual information from afar is insufficient to judge slope and detect small obstacles. Prior work has modeled LZ quality based on plane fitti...
متن کاملTopography of Candidate Phoenix Landing Sites from Moc Images
Introduction: This abstract continues our series of reports [1-3] on high-resolution topographic mapping of martian terrains based on stereo and photoclinometric analysis of Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera narrow-angle (MGS MOC-NA) images [4]. Our initial efforts [1,2,5] were devoted to quantifying the topographic and slope hazards of candidate landing sites for the Mars Exploration Ro...
