A Near Real Time Space Based Computer Vision System for Accurate Terrain Mapping

Year: 2018
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The Multiview Onboard Computational Imager (MOCI) is a 3U cube satellite designed to convert high resolution imagery, 4K images at 8m Ground Sample Distance (GSD), into useful end data products in near real time.The primary data products that MOCI seeks to provide are a 3D terrain models of the surface of Earth that can be directly compared to the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) v3 global Digital Elevation Model (DEM).MOCI utilizes a Nvidia TX2 Graphic Processing Unit (GPU)/System on a Chip (SoC) to perform the complex calculations required for such a task.The reconstruction problem, which MOCI can solve, contains many complex computer vision subroutines that can be used in less complicated computer vision pipelines.
