In a potential Mars sample return mission, a Mars rover is required to visit previously explored and mapped environments in order to retrieve previously collected samples for subsequent return to Earth. In such a mission, the rover needs to establish its position within a provided map to safely and efficiently plan a path toward the goal locations. In this work, we study the feasibility and performance of aerial-to-ground (A2G) localization of the Mars rover by registering rover’s ground imagery to an aerial map of a Mars analogue environment. Through empirical experiments at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Mars Yard, we present performance, robustness and sensitivity analysis for A2G localization in varying lighting conditions, viewing angles, terrain types and using different image feature detectors and descriptors.
