DOI: 10.1109/taes.2018.2815879
Abstract: This paper presents a novel vision-based method to solve the 6-degree-of-freedom pose estimation problem of textureless space objects from a single monocular image. Our approach follows a coarse-to-fine procedure, utilizing only shape and contour information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/oe.465840
Abstract: The image information of distant objects shows a diffuse speckle pattern due to diffraction limit, non-uniform scattering, etc., which is difficult to achieve object discrimination. In this study, we have developed a staring spectral video… read more here.
