摘要:

不合作空间驻留物体的位姿估计是近距离操作中实现自主性的关键资产。在这种情况下,单目相机是一种有价值的解决方案,因为它们的系统要求低。然而,相关联的图像处理算法对于实时的板上实现来说在计算上太昂贵,或者不够准确。在本文中,我们提出了一个姿态估计软件,利用神经网络架构,可以扩展到不同的精度-延迟权衡。我们设计了与边缘张量处理单元兼容的管道,以展示低功耗机器学习加速器如何在太空中实现人工智能开发。测试的神经网络的基准航天器姿态估计数据集,并特意开发的Cosmo真实感数据集,它描绘了一个COSMO-SkyMed卫星在各种随机姿势和可操纵的太阳能电池板的方向。我们架构的最轻版本在两个数据集上都实现了最先进的准确性,但网络复杂性只有一小部分,在Coral Dev Board Mini上以每秒7.7帧的速度运行,仅消耗2.2W。

英文摘要:

Pose estimation of an uncooperative space resident object is a key asset towards autonomy in close proximity operations. In this context monocular cameras are a valuable solution because of their low system requirements. However, the associated image processing algorithms are either too computationally expensive for real time on-board implementation, or not enough accurate. In this paper we propose a pose estimation software exploiting neural network architectures which can be scaled to different accuracy-latency trade-offs. We designed our pipeline to be compatible with Edge Tensor Processing Units to show how low power machine learning accelerators could enable Artificial Intelligence exploitation in space. The neural networks were tested both on the benchmark Spacecraft Pose Estimation Dataset, and on the purposely developed Cosmo Photorealistic Dataset, which depicts a COSMO-SkyMed satellite in a variety of random poses and steerable solar panels orientations. The lightest version of our architecture achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on both datasets but at a fraction of networks complexity, running at 7.7 frames per second on a Coral Dev Board Mini consuming just 2.2W.
