Lightweight CNN-Based Method for Spacecraft Component Detection

Spacecraft component detection is essential for space missions, such as for rendezvous and on-orbit assembly.Traditional intelligent detection algorithms suffer from drawbacks related to high computational burden, and are not applicable for on-board use.This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based lightweight algorithm for spacecr
