No single modality sensor can provide sufficient data to extract all the relevant features of the environment but vision is the most information-rich modality. It is the primary sensory modality for planetary rovers in providing distance observation for navigation and obstacle avoidance. Furthermore, it is the most information-rich form of sensory data—in autonomous rovers it is the primary means of generating maps of the locality representing distance information about the external world. Stereovision is required for the recognition of objects, the determination of their positions and orientations in space, and for visual servoing. Vision also provides the basis for scientific analysis by the science team and as the first step towards autonomous science. Natural environments such as those on planetary surfaces are unstructured making image processing more difficult. Furthermore, sensor data are always corrupted by noise and characterized by limited observability.
