  • 采用共享骨干网络+任务专用头的模块化设计,实现多任务感知
  • 地形分类准确率达92.56%,巨石分割交并比达0.753
  • 支持地面训练模型远程上链,无需在轨重训

行星表面探测任务日益依赖具备自主感知能力的机器人平台,以实现安全导航、科学目标聚焦和操作效率提升。本文提出MANTLE——一种用于地形与地貌提取的多任务自适应网络。该模型使用DINOv2作为共享骨干网络提取高层特征,搭配任务专用头:分类头用于大尺度地貌分类,分割头用于像素级巨石定位,分别基于HiRISE轨道影像和MSL地表影像构建的标注数据集进行训练。分类头在七类火星地貌上测试准确率达92.56%,分割头验证交并比(IoU)为0.753,并在未见路径的测试集上展现出强跨日泛化能力。MANTLE的核心优势在于其模块化可扩展设计,即‘模块化上链原则’:仅需将冻结的共享骨干保留在探测器上,后续感知能力可在地球端训练成轻量级任务头后远程上链,无需重新训练完整模型。本工作首次实现地形分类与巨石分割两项高影响力能力,为未来任务中持续扩展感知功能奠定基础。未来的探测器不必一登陆就完全成型,而是可随每次上链不断学习、适应并增强能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Planetary surface exploration missions rely increasingly on autonomous robotic platforms capable of interpreting complex terrain to ensure safe navigation, enable targeted science, and improve operational efficiency, as demonstrated across past Mars missions from Viking through Perseverance. Among the key perception capabilities, landform classification provides contextual information for landing site selection and scientific analysis, while boulder segmentation supports hazard assessment and path planning. This paper presents MANTLE, a multi-task adaptive network for terrain and landform extraction. The model uses a shared DINOv2 backbone for high-level feature extraction with task-specific heads: a classification head for large-scale landform classification, and a segmentation head for pixel-wise boulder localization, each trained on curated datasets built respectively from HiRISE orbital imagery and MSL surface-level imagery. The classification head achieved a test accuracy of 92.56% across seven Martian terrain classes, while the segmentation head achieved a validation IoU of 0.753 and showed strong cross-sol generalization on a held-out test set from previously unseen rover traverses. A key advantage of MANTLE is its modular, extensible design, formalized here as the Modular Uplink Principle: only a shared, frozen backbone needs to remain onboard, while subsequent perception capabilities are trained on Earth as lightweight task-specific heads and uplinked without retraining the full model. This work demonstrates two such high-impact capabilities, terrain classification and boulder segmentation, as an initial realization of a framework built to support many more over a mission's lifetime. With this foundation, future explorers need not arrive on Mars fully formed, but can continue to learn, adapt, and grow more capable with every uplink.
