Adaptive Quantized Planetary Crater Detection System for Autonomous Space Exploration

Autonomous planetary exploration demands real-time, high-fidelity environmental perception. Standard deep learning models require massive computational resources. Conversely, space-qualified onboard computers operate under strict power, thermal, and memory limits. This disparity creates a severe engineering bottleneck, preventing the deployment of highly capable perception architectures on extraterrestrial exploration platforms. In this foundational concept paper, we propose the theoretical architecture for the Adaptive Quantized Planetary Crater Detection System (AQ-PCDSys) to resolve this bottleneck. We present a mathematical blueprint integrating an INT8 Quantized Neural Network (QNN) designed specifically for Quantization Aware Training (QAT). To address sensor fragility, we mathematically formalize an Adaptive Multi-Sensor Fusion (AMF) module. By deriving the exact integer requantization multiplier required for spatial attention gating, this module actively selects and fuses Optical Imagery (OI) and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) at the feature level, ensuring reliable perception during extreme cross-illuminations and optical hardware dropouts. Furthermore, the architecture introduces anchor-free, center-to-edge regression heads, protected by a localized FP16 coordinate conversion, to accurately frame asymmetrical lunar craters without catastrophic integer truncation. Rather than presenting physical hardware telemetry, this manuscript establishes the theoretical bounds, structural logic, and mathematical justifications for the architecture. We outline a rigorous Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) evaluation protocol to define the exact testing criteria required for future empirical validation, paving the way for next-generation space-mission software design.
