Omnidirectional visual odometry for a planetary rover [PDF]
2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005 Position estimation for planetary rovers has been typically limited to odometry based on proprioceptive measurements such as the integration of distance traveled and measurement of heading change. Here we present and compare two methods of online visual odometry suited for planetary rovers. Both methods use omnidirectional imagery to estimate motion of

Exploring Tractive Performance of Planetary Rover's Rigid Wheels on Mixed Terrain
Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2020 Based on insufficient studies of the tractive performance of a planetary rover's rigid wheels in soft soil and hard mixed soil terrains, a method for studying the tractive performance is presented.

An approach to model interest for planetary rover through Dezert–Smarandache theory [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we propose an approach for assigning an interest level to the goals of a planetary rover. Assigning an interest level to goals allows the rover autonomously to transform and reallocate the goals.

The Katwijk beach planetary rover dataset [PDF]
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2017 This paper describes a dataset collected along a 1 km section of beach near Katwijk, The Netherlands, which was populated with a collection of artificial rocks of varying sizes to emulate known rock size densities at current and potential Mars landing sites. First, a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle collected georeferenced images of the entire area.

A PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF FEATURE DETECTORS FOR PLANETARY ROVER MAPPING AND LOCALIZATION [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 Feature detection and matching are key techniques in computer vision and robotics, and have been successfully implemented in many fields. So far there is no performance comparison of feature detectors and matching methods for planetary mapping and rover ...
