  1. 1. The development of a Hardware-in-the-Loop test setup for event-based vision near-space space objects.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Rik van den Boogaard; [2023]
    Keywords : Camera optics; Event-based camera; HASTE; Hardware-in-the-Loop testbench; Harris corners; KLT; Asteroid; Frame-based camera; Near-space objects; Planetary exploration; Space-simulated conditions;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis work was to develop a Hardware-in-the-Loop imaging setup that enables experimenting with an event-based and frame-based camera under simulated space conditions. The generated data sets were used to compare visual navigation algorithms in terms of an event-based and frame-based feature detection and tracking algorithm. READ MORE

  3. 2. 'Oumuamua : An analysis of the the debate regarding the first interstellar visitor

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

    Author : Erik Westergren; [2022]
    Keywords : Oumuamua; asteroid; comet; Avi; Loeb; extraterrestrial; Pan-STARRS; interstellar; alien; vessel; Oumuamua; asteroid; komet; Avi; Loeb; utomjordiskt; PAN-STARRS; interstellär; farkost;

    Abstract : In the year of 2017 in October a strange object with a hyperbolic trajectory was observed in our solar system. There were several hypotheses that scientists used to try to explain what kind of an object it was, but no one could, according to the scientific community as a whole, perpetuate any of these explanations as accepted consensus.
