Bornstein, Ben; Thompson, David R.; Tran, Daniel; Bue, Brian; Chien, Steve; Castano, Rebecca, 2011, "Efficient spectral endmember detection onboard the EO-1 spacecraft", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/42110, IEEE 3rd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing, Lisbon, Portugal, June 6-11, 2011, JPL Open Repository
Spaceflight and planetary exploration place severe constraints on the available bandwidth for downlinking large hyperspectral images. In addition, communications with spacecraft often occur intermittently, so mission-relevant hyperspectral data must wait for analysis on the groun... |

Chien, Steve; Castano, Rebecca; Bornstein, Benjamin; Fukunaga, Alex; Castano, Andres; Greeley, Ron; Whelley, Patrick; Biesiadecki, Jeffrey; Lemmon, Mark, 2008, "Results from Automated cloud and dust devil detection onboard the MER", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/41748, ISAIRAS: International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation for Space, Los Angeles, February 26, 2008., JPL Open Repository
We describe a new capability to automatically detect dust devils and clouds in imagery onboard rovers, enabling downlink of just the images with the targets or only portions of the images containing the targets. Previously, the MER rovers conducted campaigns to image dust devils... |

Castano, Andres; Fukunaga, Alex; Biesiadecki, Jeffrey; Neakrase, Lynn; Whelley, Patrick; Greeley, Ronald; Lemmon, Mark; Castano, Rebecca; Chien, Steve, 2006, "Autonomous detection of dust devils and clouds on Mars", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/39920, IEEE International Conference on Image Processing Atlanta, Georgia, October 8-11, 2006., JPL Open Repository
Acquisition of science in space applications is shifting from teleoperated gathering to an automated on-board analysis with improvements in the use of on-board memory, CPU, bandwidth and data quality. In this paper, we describe algorithms to autonomously detect dust devils and cl... |

Castano, Rebecca; Mazzoni, Dominic; Tang, Nghia; Greeley, Ron; Doggett, Thomas; Cichy, Ben; Chien, Steve; Davies, Ashley, 2006, "Onboard classifiers for science event detection on a remote sensing spacecraft", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/39811, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 20-23, 2006., JPL Open Repository
Typically, data collected by a spacecraft is downlinked to Earth and pre-processed before any analysis is performed. We have developed classifiers that can be used onboard a spacecraft to identify high priority data for downlink to Earth, providing a method for maximizing the use... |
