Design of a Spacecraft Pose Estimation System Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Performing crucial activities for space exploration, e.g., debris removal and on-orbit servicing, systems for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) are required to be autonomous and scalable. Within this context, learning-based relative navigation has gained significant traction due to the latest advancements in AI and the cost-effectiveness...

Robust Navigation Framework for Proximity Operations around Uncooperative Spacecraft: A monocular vision-based navigation approach using deep learning

Autonomous vision-based navigation is a crucial element for space applications involving a potentially uncooperative target, such as proximity operations for on-orbit servicing or active debris removal. Due to low mass and power characteristics, monocular vision sensors are an attractive choice for onboard vision-based navigation systems. This...

Traffic Gesture Classification for Intelligent Vehicles

Self-driving vehicles have shown rapid development in recent years and continue to move towards full autonomy. For high or full automation, self-driving vehicles will have to be able to address and solve a broad range of situations, one of which is interaction with traffic agents. For correct and save maneuvering through these situations,...
