Currently, there are an increasing number of space debris in the Earth’s orbit, such as parts from satellites and rockets that are no longer in operation but hold crucial risks of collision with other operational spacecraft. In order to safely approach and capture space debris with an unmanned orbital space robot, it is essential to understand its motion state before the active removal operation. In this paper, we experimentally verify the motion estimation method that uses the Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithm, which is a technique to reconstruct the three-dimensional shape of a target object and the pose of a camera by inputting a group of images with different viewpoints.
