The recent discovery of water ice in the lunar polar shadowed regions (PSRs) has driven interest in robotic exploration, due to its potential utilization to generate water, oxygen, and hydrogen that would enable sustainable human exploration in the future. However, the absence of direct sunlight in the PSRs poses a significant challenge for the robotic operation to obtain clear images, consequently impacting crucial tasks such as obstacle avoidance, pathfinding, and scientific investigation. In this regard, this study proposes a visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based robotic mapping approach that combines dense mapping and low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods. The proposed approach was experimentally examined and validated in an environment that simulated the lighting conditions of the PSRs. The mapping results show that the LLIE method leverages scattered low light to enhance the quality and clarity of terrain images, resulting in an overall improvement of the rover's perception and mapping capabilities in low-light environments.

针对月球探测车位置与姿态的准确估计问题,提出了一种基于RBPF粒子滤波的月球车SLAM方法。该方法基于高速激光雷达对环境地貌的观测,通过激光测距值与所建栅格地图之间的匹配实现。鉴于车体的位置估计仍难以彻底消除累积误差,提出了对于月球车平动速度的估计方法,并通过仿真实验验证了该速度估计方法的正确性。为提高粒子滤波的实时性能,提出所有粒子共同维护一幅地图的处理方法,实验表明该方法在明显提高SLAM实时性的同时,并未对滤波效果产生明显影响。
