Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling docking with a spacecraft, comprising:
receiving at least one image pixel stream from at least one camera;
texture processing the at least one image pixel stream to generate at least one texture map for the at least one image pixel stream;
generating thresholding results for each of the at least one pixel image stream responsive to the generated at least one texture map;
fuses each of the thresholding results for the at least one pixel image stream to create fused thresholding results;
determining a bus centroid of the spacecraft responsive to the generated fused thresholding results; and
controlling docking of with the spacecraft responsive to the determined bus centroid.
