LiDAR-Based Non-Cooperative Tumbling Spacecraft Pose Tracking by Fusing Depth Maps and Point Clouds

LiDAR-Based Non-Cooperative Tumbling Spacecraft Pose Tracking by Fusing Depth Maps and Point Clouds

How to determine the relative pose between the chaser spacecraft and the high-speed tumbling target spacecraft at close range, which is an essential step in space proximity missions, is very challenging. This paper proposes a LiDAR-based pose tracking method by fusing depth maps and point clouds. Th...
