Spacecraft Pose Estimation using Principal Component Analysis and a Monocular Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
The method of Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is widely used in statistical data analysis for engineering and the sciences. It is an effective tool for reducing the dimensionality of datasets while retaining majority of the data information. This paper explores the method of using PCA for spacecraft pose estimation for the purpose of proximity operations, and adapts a novel kernel based PCA method called Euler-PCA to denoise spacecraft imagery using a single optical or thermal camera.

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images
In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

متن کامل3D Pose Estimation from Silhouettes in Cyclic Activities Encoded by a Dense Gaussians Mixture Model
This paper presents a system for 3D Pose estimation of cyclic activities (e.g. walking, jogging). Principal Component Analysis is used to compress the high dimensional space of poses. Human activities are encoded by Hidden Markov Models, overlaid on Gaussian Mixture Models. A generative approach based on the Annealed Particle Filter is used to estimate poses from silhouettes derived by a monocu...
متن کاملEstimating Human Dynamics On-the-fly Using Monocular Video For Pose Estimation
Human pose estimation using uncalibrated monocular visual inputs alone is a challenging problem for both the computer vision and robotics communities. From the robotics perspective, the challenge here is one of pose estimation of a multiply-articulated system of bodies using a single nonspecialized environmental sensor (the camera) and thereby, creating low-order surrogate computational models ...
متن کامل3D Human Pose Estimation from a Monocular Image Using Model Fitting in Eigenspaces
Generally, there are two approaches for solving the problem of human pose estimation from monocular images. One is the learning-based approach, and the other is the model-based approach. The former method can estimate the poses rapidly but has the disadvantage of low estimation accuracy. While the latter method is able to accurately estimate the poses, its computational cost is high. In this pa...
