Object Position and Orientation Detection For Mars Science Laboratory Helicopter Test Imagery
نویسنده
چکیده
The Mars Science Laboratory landing radar underwent testing where the radar was attached to a helicopter with a rover mockup suspended underneath. The rover mockups position was varied while the radar was operating in order to test how the position of the rover affects the radar return. Knowledge of the rover mockup position at each time instant is crucial in determining what effects may be present.

Accuracy improvement of Best Scanline Search Algorithms for Object to Image Transformation of Linear Pushbroom Imagery
Unlike the frame type images, back-projection of ground points onto the 2D image space is not a straightforward process for the linear pushbroom imagery. In this type of images, best scanline search problem complicates image processing using Collinearity equation from computational point of view in order to achieve reliable exterior orientation parameters. In recent years, new best scanline sea...

Over the past twenty years Mars surface exploration has been conducted particularly by the following six-wheel rocker-bogie mobile rovers developed at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory [1]: the Mars Pathfinder mission rover Sojourner, the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) Spirit and Opportunity and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity, where the latter is still on his way to Mars and is e...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملAuto - Pilot : Autonomous Control of a remote controlled helicopter
An auto-pilot system was created which could track and control a Syma S107 RC mini infrared helicopter in real-time. The helicopter was tracked using two LEDs attached to it, one situated on the front of the helicopter and one situated on the tail. Image processing and object tracking algorithms were used to track the position of the helicopter. In order to perform real-time tracking, the metho...
