Fast and Accurate Spacecraft Pose Estimation From Single Shot Space Imagery Using Box Reliability and Keypoints Existence Judgments

Real-time 6DOF (6 Degree of Freedom) pose estimation of an uncooperative spacecraft is an important part of proximity operations, e.g., space debris removal, spacecraft rendezvous and docking, on-orbit servicing, etc. In this article, a novel efficient deep learning based approach is proposed to est...
