In the field of deep space exploration, a crater recognition algorithm is key to landing
navigation based on craters. When there is only visual information, determining how to …

The detection and localization of craters on the Moon and other planets play an essential
role in planet landing, spacecraft navigation, and geologic study. Historically, craters …

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 …

A crater detection and recognition algorithm is the key to pose estimation based on craters.
Due to the changing viewing angle and varying height, the crater is imaged as an ellipse …

For future lunar exploration and planetary missions, the digital elevation model (DEM) of the
target object may not be well prepared before the mission, so develo** a new robust …
