A Virtual Planetary Exploration: Very Large Virtual Environment

نویسنده

  • Lewis E. Hitchner
چکیده

The initial application of VPE is visualization of the surface of Mars. The data used in our . W geometric model has been measured, not synthesized, and it represents the entire surface of the planet e use digital terrain data derived from images that were transmitted from NASA’s Viking orbiter t satellites and processed by the U. S. Geological Survey. VPE can also be operated with any other digi al terrain data such as that currently available from Venus and Earth, or higher resolution data to be returned from the Moon and Mars in the next few years.

A Virtual Rover Interface for Collaborative Human-Robot Exploration Teams

Future planetary exploration missions will employ teams of rovers as astronaut assistants and independent scouts. Individual and cooperative tasks must be accurately modeled. Mission controllers and astronauts must maintain situational awareness through global and local perspectives of the exploration team members and their environment. This paper describes the development and integration of a ...

ADVISER : Immersive Scientific Visualization Applied to Mars Research and Exploration

Geologists explore Earth at specific surface locations and then integrate these data using more synoptic approaches. Planetary geoscientists, however, are forced by the nature of the available data to start from synoptic and orbital data and work down toward the surface. We describe ADVISER (Advanced Visualization in Solar System Exploration and Research), a problem-solving environment that use...

Semantic Navigation Maps for Mobile Robot Localization on Planetary Surfaces

Exploration with autonomous mobile robots is an important means in recent space exploration missions. One key requirement imposed is the ability to localize the robots in relation to their environment and to represent this environment in an accessible way. This paper discusses map building and localization for mobile robot exploration missions on planetary surfaces using a novel map representat...
