Examination of recent Martian rovers data for supporting the planetary terrain trafficability assessment techniques and algorithms development
Abstract
This abstract summarizes the preliminary analyses related to the development of the effective and reliable hardware and software solutions for the Martian terrain traversability assessment implemented as a part of the rover base functionalities. The presented example is the effect of long discussions and analyses made during preparation of the data fusion software for FASTER project. Set of existing visual and spectroscopic data is examined as a reference source data for defining the typical variability of the Martian soil in terms of traversability by the rover. Presented preliminary analysis can be a base for enhanced fusion strategy of soil sensors measurement and basis for reliable path planning process implemented into the rover software.
