Multi-Modal Localization for Autonomous Lunar Lander Robert Fisher - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Multi-Modal Localization for Autonomous Lunar Lander Robert Fisher Heather Jones

Localizing Relative to the Moon • Extended Kalman Filter • Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Data – Laser altimeter ranges – Camera images

Motion Model • x t+1 = x t + v t * dt + 0.5*a t *dt 2 • v t+1 = v t + a t *dt • Accelerations treated as controls, calculated from ground truth position

Error with Motion Model Only (Starting on ground-truth trajectory) Position Error (m) Velocity Error (m/s)

LRO Laser Altimeter, Digital Elevation Map 5 points per frame ~28 frames per second

Laser Measurement Model: Single Point Range Position (m) Velocity (m/s)

Laser Measurement Model: Terrain Correlation to Sequence of Ranges
