小型月着陸機のための画像を用いた安全着陸領域識別に関する研究

抄録

In recent years, investigating moon is once again drawing attentions of several countries. In Japan, an image-based autonomous navigation method is studied for a moon investigating project by the small lunar lander. The purpose of this paper is to propose a safe landing areas detection method for lunar environmental suitability that uses brightness values and to propose a landing point determination algorithm in a limited calculating area for the actual lunar lander. In addition, we study acceleration of the processing speed for hardware implementation and robustness of the proposed method.
