Rover orientation algorithms

Our partners at Veliky Novgorod State University's Laboratory of
Innovative Radio Systems have developed an alpha version of Moon rover
software.

This computer vision software interfaces with dual cameras for
stereovision as well as a laser scanning tool for obstacle detection. It
will help our rover travel autonomously on the lunar surface.

In the near future, we plan to equip our rover with additional sensors
including an accelerometer, and inclinometers along with an odometer to
accurately measure how far our rover travels.
