Research on UAV-Based Mars Topography Mapping and 3D Reconstruction System
摘要
The 3D reconstruction technology is of great significance for the research of Martian topography. In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based Mars topography mapping and 3D reconstruction system is proposed. In the system, an on-board range-visual-inertial odometry (on-board range-VIO) is applied to solve UAV navigation and flight path planning problems. The pictures of simulated Mars topography are photted. Images are processed and 3D model is reconstructed by applying high-performance computing unit (HPCU). By building an experimental system on the ground and conducting flight simulation and 3D reconstruction experiments, the effectiveness of the system was verified.
