Photoclinometry-from-Motion (PhoMo)

This is the official repository for Stereophotoclinometry Revisited, which is currently under review for publication to AIAA's Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics (JGCD)
Photoclinometry-from-Motion (PhoMo) is a framework for autonomous image-based surface reconstruction and characterization of small celestial bodies. PhoMo integrates photoclinometry into a structure-from-motion (SfM) pipeline that leverages deep learning-based keypoint extraction and matching (i.e., RoMa) to enable simultaneous optimization of the spacecraft pose, landmark positions, Sun vectors, and surface normals and albedos.
