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 ...

Dynamic Simulation Tool Development for Planetary Rovers
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008 A dynamic computer simulator was developed to study planetary rover mobility. The simulator was validated for step-obstacle negotiation by comparing simulation results with a quasi-static analysis of a rocker-bogie suspension.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

VISION BASED OBSTACLE DETECTION USING ROVER STEREO IMAGES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Vision based obstacle detection using stereo images is an essential way for hazard avoidance and path planning in planetary rover missions. However, due to light condition changes and topographic relief, only partial or sparse three-dimensional points ...

Terrain mapping for a walking planetary rover [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1994 Presents a terrain mapping system for walking robots that constructs quantitative models of surface geometry, The accuracy of the constructed maps enables safe, power-efficient locomotion over the natural, rugged terrain found on planetary surfaces. The mapping system acquires range images with a laser rangefinder, preprocesses and stores the images ...
