Mapping and determining the center of mass of a rotating object using a moving observer

For certain applications, such as on-orbit inspection of orbital debris, defunct satellites, and natural objects, it is necessary to obtain a map of a rotating object from a moving observer, as well to estimate the object’s center of mass. This paper addresses these tasks using an observer that meas...
