Lidar Pose Tracking of a Tumbling Spacecraft Using the Smoothed Normal Distribution Transform

Lidar sensors enable precise pose estimation of an uncooperative spacecraft in close range. In this context, the iterative closest point (ICP) is usually employed as a tracking method. However, when the size of the point clouds increases, the required computation time of the ICP can become a limitin...
