Abstract:
The current status of development to design an autonomous vision system for spacecraft guidance in special scenarios is described. Algorithms developed are especially promising in a novel approach to detect potential landmark areas to guide a spacecraft in the descent and landing phases. The overall structure of the system was designed, and special break points for crucial parts have been determined in simulation.
