Using a single sensor to determine the pose estimation of a device cannot give accurate
results. This paper presents a fusion of an inertial sensor of six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) …

Vision-based navigation has become increasingly important in a variety of space
applications for enhancing autonomy and dependability. Future missions, such as active …

Smartphone camera or inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor-based systems can be
independently used to provide accurate indoor positioning results. However, the accuracy of …

Abstract On January 20, 2024, Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) landed on the
Moon. Vision-Based Navigation (VBN) was used to estimate the position of the spacecraft …

Future Mars Rotorcraft require advanced navigation capabilities to enable all terrain access
over long distance flights that are executed fully autonomously. A critical component to …

This article proposes a vision-based framework to track the pose of lander in real time during
planetary exploration with craters as landmarks. The contour of landmark crater is …

In this paper, a vision-aided inertial navigation method for planetary landing based on the
direct method is proposed. This approach requires only a monocular camera and an inertial …

For planetary landing missions, accurate surface relative state knowledge to safely land
near science targets is required. However, the lack of on-board map poses a technical …

An integrated celestial navigation scheme for spacecrafts based on an optical interferometer
and an ultraviolet Earth sensor is presented in this paper. The optical interferometer is …

Landing point localization is of great significance to the lunar exploration engineering and
scientific missions. Vision-based landing point localization methods have successfully been …
