Summary:
A crater detector for moon landing system using Haar-Like feature is proposed. This proposal assumes that it is applied to SLIM(Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) project aiming at the pin-point landing to the moon surface. In the SLIM project, 400kgclass lander is assumed, therefore, high-performance computers for image processing cannot be equipped. The image processing is going to realize high-speed processing by using the FPGA circuit for parallel computation. Furthermore, as the crater detection method, we try to apply a object recognition method using Haar-Like feature. It seems that the Haar-Like feature is suitable for rapid object detection based on distribution of the light and shade of the image, such as the surface image of moon. In this paper, the precision and rapidity of the crater detection using Haar-Like feature is shown by computer simulation.
