Overview

PRoVisG (short for “Planetary Robotics Vision Ground Processing”) is a Collaborative Project in the frame of FP7-SPACE -2007-1 that was carried out from October 2008 to June 2012 (45 months total duration). The EC FP7-SPACE Project PRoVisG brought together major EU and US research institutions and stakeholders involved in space robotic vision and navigation to develop a unified approach to robotic vision ground processing. The aim of PRoVisG is to build a unified European framework for Robotic Vision Ground Processing. State-of-the-art computer vision technology was collected inside and outside Europe to better exploit the image data gathered during future robotic space missions to the Moon and the Planets, leading to a significant enhancement of the scientific, technologic and educational outcome of such missions. The underpinning platform is called Indie. This has the capability of complex object detection, identifying areas of interest in any given environment. Localisation can be achieved through 3D mapping techniques available from the stereo camera system, as used on the martian Aerobot project. Sensor fusion between wheel odometry, GPS and stereo cameras provides accurate positioning on 3D terrain.
