Bayes Networks on Ice: Robotic Search for Antarctic Meteorites
Conference Paper, Proceedings of (NeurIPS) Neural Information Processing Systems, pp. 949 - 955, November, 2000
Abstract
A Bayes network based classifier for distinguishing terrestrial rocks from meteorites is implemented onboard the Nomad robot. Equipped with a camera, spectrometer and eddy current sensor, this robot searched the ice sheets of Antarctica and autonomously made the first robotic identification of a meteorite, in January 2000 at the Elephant Moraine. This paper discusses rock classification from a robotic platform, and describes the system onboard Nomad.
