The article discusses two new rock detection methods designed for Mars rovers, which are crucial for safe navigation and obstacle avoidance.
The methods address challenges posed by the diversity of Martian rock shapes and limited pixel details that affect current detection techniques.
The proposed algorithms, KPRD and KLRD, enhance the accuracy and speed of rock detection, with KLRD offering improved results through a more sophisticated approach, validated by experimental results on a specially created dataset called MarsData.
