Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods relating to assessing a navigation subsystem are provided. One method includes: acquiring a ground image associated with a nominal position; assigning one or more texture classes to each of a plurality of pixels of the ground image; partitioning the processed ground image into a plurality of ground image sub regions; retrieving a reference image from an atlas of reference images; generating a plurality of matching statistics comprising a matching statistic for each ground image sub region by comparing the ground image sub region to a portion of the reference image; calculating a calculated position of the ground image and an uncertainty associated with the calculated position based on the matching statistics; and determining critique data associated with the navigation subsystem based on a comparison of the calculated position of the ground image with at least one position determined by the navigation subsystem.
