Dealing with Occlusions using ICP (Iterative Closest Point) for Aerial Refueling
This video discusses analytical methods for minimizing the effects of boom occlusion on a partially visible receiver. The point set is generated from a tanker-centric stereo vision system watching an inbound receiver. The point set is then registered using the iterative closest point algorithm to compute a pose estimation.
