TriCCOT: Tri-part Convolutional Conformal Transformer for Onboard Space Object Detection
TriCCOT is introduced, a tri-part architecture for robust and deployable onboard object detection that combines a convolutional region proposal network, a conformal prediction stage, and Aper-GATES, the authors' hardware-friendly attention-based classifier, enabling unified CNN-Transformer inference for spaceborne embe...
