An Improved Deep Keypoint Detection Network for Space Targets Pose Estimation

The on-board pose estimation of uncooperative target is an essential ability for close-proximity formation flying missions, on-orbit servicing, active debris removal and space exploration. However, the main issues of this research are: first, traditional pose determination algorithms result in a sem...
