Description
The proposed effort is to develop a low power/mass vision system that provides in real-time high-resolution (HR) three-dimensional (3D) data over wide angles for quickly detecting hazards and obstacles in the path of planetary rovers. The objective is to build a compact camera package that meets the low size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements of the application.nbsp;nbsp; The 3D sensor will provide better than 0.4 milliradian resolution over a 96-degree by 80-degree field of regard and better than 2.5 cm distance accuracy at 3.75 meters with distance accuracy improving at shorter ranges.nbsp; This 3D imaging capability is achieved using a unique electro-optic step and stare scanner that provides the largest angle-aperture product of any non-mechanical scanning technology.nbsp;
