Synthetic Space Image Generation Method Based on Space Imaging Simulator and Artificial Intelligence

With the arrival of the New Space era, techniques that using artificial intelligence (AI) for various space missions, such as on-orbit servicing (OOS) and space debris removal, are being proposed. However, since artificial intelligence technology is learning-based, it requires a large amount of image data, Currently, acquiring data related to space missions is not easy in terms of cost and time, and there is a limit to relying on simulator-based technology. In this paper we propose a technique for generating space images using simulators and artificial intelligence. The synthetic space image generation technology and proposed technique described are expected to be used for various space missions in the future.
