Abstract: An inertial sensing system comprises a first multi-axis atomic inertial sensor, a second multi-axis atomic inertial sensor, and an optical multiplexer optically coupled to the first and second multi-axis atomic inertial sensors. The optical multiplexer is configured to sequentially direct light along different axes of the first and second multi-axis atomic inertial sensors. A plurality of micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensors is in operative communication with the first and second multi-axis atomic inertial sensors. Output signals from the first and second multi-axis atomic inertial sensors aid in correcting errors produced by the MEMS inertial sensors by sequentially updating output signals from the MEMS inertial sensors.

Abstract: A method of determining at least one of position and attitude in relation to an object is provided. The method includes capturing at least two images of the object with at least one camera. Each image is captured at a different position in relation to the object. The images are converted to edge images. The edge images of the object are converted into three-dimensional edge images of the object using positions of where the at least two images were captured. Overlap edge pixels in the at least two three-dimensional edge images are located to identify overlap points. A three dimensional edge candidate point image of the identified overlapped points in an evidence grid is built. The three dimensional candidate edge image in the evidence grid is compared with a model of the object to determine at least one of a then current position and attitude in relation to the object.

Abstract: A method for compressing three-dimensional data points is disclosed. The method includes measuring a plurality of three-dimensional data points using one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the computing device, where each three-dimensional data point represents a point in a three-dimensional environment. The method also includes dividing the three-dimensional environment into a plurality of spatial cubes, wherein each three-dimensional data point is mapped to one spatial cube. The method also includes, for each spatial cube, converting the three-dimensional data points in the respective spatial cube to a two-dimensional plane based on a number of three-dimensional data points in the respective spatial cube. The method also includes, for each two-dimensional plane, determining polygon vertices of a planar polygon at points where an edge of an associated spatial cube intersects the respective two-dimensional plane. The method also includes sending the polygon vertices of each planar polygon to a ground station.

Abstract: A method of generating a map for image aided navigation comprises detecting one or more edges in one or more terrain images, and obtaining a compressed edge representation of the one or more edges. The compressed edge representation is obtained by a method comprising fitting a geometric form or other mathematical model to the one or more edges, calculating one or more coefficients based on the fitted geometric form or other mathematical model, and storing the one or more coefficients in a database for use in generating the map for image aided navigation.
