Abstract: The Chang'e 5 explorer successfully realized China's first lunar sample-return mission. Lots of images were acquired by the cameras mounted on the surface sampling manipulator in the process of lunar surface exploration. The inverse kinematics of the 4 degrees of freedom manipulator of Chang'e 5 was discussed with the geometric method. The imaging posture determination approach for the two types of monocular motion cameras mounted on the manipulator——far camera and near camera was proposed. For the sampling area, the coverage of the field of view under different imaging posture was analyzed. Furthermore, the principle of multi-image overlapping evaluation without image was established. Then the imaging posture and image coverage were simulated based on the manipulator camera motion information, and the simulation results were verified through terrain reconstruction. The results indicate that the approach can be used to establish the overlapping connection of multi-images acquired by the manipulator camera in widespread motion, and can be used in multi-image joint applications such as topographic reconstruction with the help of imaging posture.
