HackAI 2025 | ISS AI Docking Locator and Distance Regressor

❗ THIS REPO MAY HAVE BEEN CHANGED OR UPDATED SINCE THE ORIGINAL HACK AI VERSION ❗
❗ SEE THE HACK AI RELEASE FOR THAT VERSION ❗
⚠️ SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MODEL, BUT A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN LEFT UNPUBLISHED, AS IT IS PART OF AN UNDER-DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM ⚠️

HackAI 2025 Model

The HackAI 2025 model was created as a part of the 25-hour hackathon. We created a MHN regressing three values (distance, x-coordinate of the docking port, and y-coordinate of the docking port) through three separate heads. The backbone of the model was the MobileNetV3Small model provided by Keras.

Alongside that, a 3D visualization of the model outputs was created using STL files of the ISS and SpaceX Dragon capsule (provided).
