The effort will develop an image network based system to support long range (>5km) autonomous rover navigation at an accuracy of up to 10m (0.2%) in a rough terrain environment. An image network will link the overhead orbital images
The effort will develop an image network based system to support long range (>5km) autonomous rover navigation at an accuracy of up to 10m (0.2%) in a rough terrain environment. An image network will link the overhead orbital images (including orbital images, and descent images, if available) and the ground images (including rover panoramic images and traversing images) through ground land features and remote landmarks (Figure 1). The integrated overhead and ground image network presents a much stronger geometry than any individ
