“…Yang et al proposed an end-to-end high-resolution feature pyramid network (HRFPNet), which uses feature aggregation modules to enhance the feature extraction capability of small-to medium-sized craters [20]. The deep learning-based methods for crater detection learn various deep features of the small body terrain from existing crater image data and achieve crater recognition in different illumination and viewing conditions, demonstrating high accuracy and robustness [21,22].…”

Craters are regarded as significant navigation landmarks during the descent and landing process in small body exploration missions for their universality. Recognizing and matching craters is a crucial prerequisite for visual and LIDAR-based navigation tasks. Compared to traditional algorithms, deep learning-based crater detection algorithms can achieve a higher recognition rate. However, matching crater detection results under various image transformations still poses challenges. To address the problem, a composite feature-matching algorithm that combines geometric descriptors and region descriptors (extracting normalized region pixel gradient features as feature vectors) is proposed. First, the geometric configuration map is constructed based on the crater detection results. Then, geometric descriptors and region descriptors are established within each feature primitive of the map. Subsequently, taking the salience of geometric features into consideration, composite feature descriptors with scale, rotation, and illumination invariance are generated through fusion geometric and region descriptors. Finally, descriptor matching is accomplished by computing the relative distances between descriptors and adhering to the nearest neighbor principle. Experimental results show that the composite feature descriptor proposed in this paper has better matching performance than only using shape descriptors or region descriptors, and can achieve a more than 90% correct matching rate, which can provide technical support for the small body visual navigation task.
