title = "Model-based optical navigation for autonomous landing on asteroids",
abstract = "An optical navigation method for autonomous landing on asteroids using asteroid shape model is presented. Vertices of the shape model are tracked in the sequential images obtained by a monocular camera. The proposed method does not need the process of landmark detection or mapping. The pose of the spacecraft is estimated using particle filter, considering the dynamics around the asteroid. The performance of the developed navigation method is evaluated via numerical simulation; it is based on the touchdown rehearsal operation in Hayabusa2 Mission to show the effectiveness of the proposed method against actual asteroid exploration missions.",
