Satellite pose estimation

Goals

No deep learning based approachs.

Playing around with some basic image processing functions in order to estimate the 6-dof pose of a satellite (known model) using a monocular calibrated camera.

The code is in C++ and based on OpenCV functions.

Naive approach

There is an ambiguity in the object model, thus the frame axis flipping in some frames.
