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 …

Visual navigation by landmarks on the surface of the planet and small body is a potential
main navigation method for pinpoint landing, which is a very challenging and necessary task …

A large number of crater features exist on the surface of interplanetary bodies. Autonomous
navigation based on these crater features can obtain excellent navigation performance …

In order to address the challenges encountered in visual navigation for asteroid landing
using traditional point features, such as significant recognition and extraction errors, low …

With the development of aerospace technology, optical navigation based on planetary
image processing has become increasingly important. Traditional approaches in image …

In recent years there has been a great deal of research and development pertaining to the
landing of spacecraft on small bodies, such as asteroids. The capabilities to identify and …

This paper proposes a novel visual feature detection model for navigation applications in the
context of autonomous planetary landing. A novel Hessian marker is developed in the first …

A holistic vision-based hazard detection framework for asteroid landing is introduced in this
paper. The proposed holistic conjecture takes advantage of the Hough Transform method …

In an autonomous planetary/asteroid landing mission, landmark recognition is crucial to the
success of the navigation system. The failure of feature detection or matching could lead to …
