Friday, 26 July 2019
A team of researchers from the University of 亚洲色吧 has defeated some of the world’s most prestigious universities and space technology companies at an international space competition, hosted by the European Space Agency.
The South Australian team – including , Dr Bo Chen and Dr Alvaro Parra Bustos – edged out 50 other teams to win the global this month by using machine learning and 3D vision algorithms to determine the most accurate orientation of an object in space.
As part of the challenge, teams were given images of the Tango spacecraft from the 2016 PRISMA mission and were required to determine the orientation of the craft in relation to the observer from close rendezvous.
The observer may be another satellite which is tasked to recover or destroy the object.
