Autonomous detection of volcanic plumes on outer planetary bodies
2012
2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
Preserved Fulltext
We demonstrated methods of detecting volcanic plumes on the planetary satellites Io and Enceladus using spacecraft images from the Voyager, Galileo, New Horizons, and Cassini missions. ...
We experimentally evaluated the efficacy of various autonomous supervised classification techniques for detecting transient geophysical phenomena. ...
INTRODUCTION Spacecraft missions to the outer solar system have identified active transient volcanic eruptive events on multiple planetary bodies ( Figure 1 ). ...

We propose a detection method based on horizon identification with Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC). The approach evidences reliable performance on a test set of plume images from Enceladus and Io. ...
This demands a prohibitive fraction of the spacecraft's limited cache and bandwidth, and precludes sustained surveys of plume activity. ...
