Cover Story: Exploring the Moon and Mars are crucial steps in advancing space exploration. Numerous missions aim to land and research in various lunar locations, some of which possess challenging surfaces with unchanging features. Some of these unstructured areas are cataloged as lunar light plains. Their main characteristics are that they are almost featureless and reflect more light than other lunar surfaces due to their chemical composition and topography. These areas tend to be great landing candidates for avoiding hazards. However, this poses a challenge during navigation and landing. This research compares traditional feature matching techniques, specifically scale-invariant feature transform and the oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF, and novel machine learning approaches for dense feature matching in challenging, unstructured scenarios, focusing on lunar light plains.
