Sparse Unorganized Point Cloud Based Relative Pose Estimation for Uncooperative Space Target

This paper proposes an autonomous algorithm to determine the relative pose between the chaser spacecraft and the uncooperative space target, which is essential in advanced space applications, e.g., on-orbit serving missions. The proposed method, named Congruent Tetrahedron Align (CTA) algorithm, use...
