1. Target Reconstruction through Fusion of Vision and LIDAR for AR&D On-Orbit
3D Reconstruction in absolute scale is necessary for autonomous rendezvous on-orbit
Vision-only reconstruction has an overall scale ambiguity
Camera & line-scanning LIDAR solution potentially enables smallSat AR&D missions
Line-scanning LIDAR has lower power budget (currently) than 3D Flash LIDAR

Target Reconstruction through Fusion of Vision and LIDAR for AR&D On-Orbit
Current framework is a good start, but requires significant additional development to be a viable, robust solution
