Monocular Navigation Relative to Unknown Spacecraft Using a Transformer-Aided Kalman Filter

This work presents a novel learning-based pipeline for pose estimation of unknown spacecraft using only monocular images from a single servicer. The approach combines a transformer-based neural network with a Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter (MSCKF) to estimate the pose (i.e., position and orientation of the target...
