Abstract

This paper presents a method to determine the shape of a space object while simultaneously recovering the observed space object's inertial orientation. This paper employs an Adaptive Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation approach, which uses light curve data to infer the space object's orientation, shape, and surface parameters. This method is shown to work well for relatively high dimensions and non-Gaussian distributions of the light curve inversion problem.
