Optical navigation for Lunar landing based on Convolutional Neural Network crater detector

“…The considered mission scenario consists in the spacecraft descent from an altitude of 100 km down to 3 km targeting the Lunar South Pole area, the designated candidate target for human missions incoming in the next years [27,28]. Even if the problem of autonomous guidance generation is out of the scope of the present study, feasible trajectories are required to test the proposed AI-based navigation on representative cases.…”
