Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Initial characterization of asteroid properties is critical for relative navigation • Proposed method automatically estimates the orientation/position of the rotation axis • The speeds of moving feature points in successive images are used for estimation • Evaluation using Ryugu images and simulation data demonstrates high accuracy
