AIML Research Seminar: Crater-based pose estimation for cislunar located spacecraft

In this presentation, Sofia demonstrated how we can estimate cislunar located spacecraft through a crater-based pose estimation pipeline.  Her research focus lies in the final pose estimation step of the pipeline, where she has conclusively addressed the weaknesses of current pose estimation methods by developing a robust perspective-n-crater algorithm. As part of this research, Sofia interned for three months at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communication Technology and discussed what it was like working and living in Japan.
