The Robotic Perception Group develops algorithms from perception sensors for localization, mapping and situational awareness information to be used in real time system (e.g. robotic platforms) for NASA nad non-NASA customers from research to flight. The work includes:
- Spaceflight implementation of 3D perception, position estimation, motion estimation, and terrain analysis for landers and orbiters
- Situational awareness for unmanned air vehicles
- Automated 3D model generation from 2D
- Mapping, automated object detection and classification of imagery for navigation (ground and water platforms)
- Simulation and realistic photo realism for space missions.
