HAT: Hypothesis-Anchored Tracking for Video Monocular Spacecraft Pose Estimation
Monocular 6-DoF pose estimation of non-cooperative targets is important for on-orbit servicing and debris removal. A single-image estimator can confuse near-symmetric spacecraft orientations, and tracking can preserve an incorrect pose. We present Hypothesis-Anchored Tracking (HAT), a causal framework that uses inter-f...
