From top to bottom, the panels respectively depict: a schematic of the Chang’E-6 landing, the framework of the landing-site localization method, the localization results, and the geological analysis results. a The landing process of the Chang’E-6 lander. b The proposed trajectory reconstruction and landing site localization method for Chang’E-6, which comprises four key modules. The data sources for this framework include image sequences captured by the descent camera and lunar surface images (DOM) taken by orbiting satellites. b1 Selection of key frames from the descent image sequence, b2 Determining small-area DOM, b3 Coarse localization, b4 Fine localization. c Visualization of the validation results of the proposed method on other Chang’E series missions. d Geological analysis based on the precise localization of the landing site and descent images. The DOM images and lunar circular maps are sourced from the LROC website, with details provided in the Data Availability section.
