Predictive Centroiding for Star Trackers with the Effect of Image Smear

The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences, 2002
Star centroiding, locating the star center in a star image frame, is a fundamental process for any star tracker. In this paper, the approximate locations of the stars in successive image frames are predicted using the angular velocity as provided by a rate gyro, then the centroid is updated based upon local image processing. When the rate gyro data are

Optimised centroiding of stars for space applications

2016
High precision pointing information is a vital input for the attitude control of space telescopes. This pointing information can be extracted from images by applying centroiding algorithms. Such images may be obtained by dedicated fine guidance sensors or by the science instrument itself.

Effect of sparse recovery on centroid estimation for star image

The 27th Chinese Control and Decision Conference (2015 CCDC), 2015
The compressive sensing (CS) theory has represented an attractive perspective that can effectively reduce the sampling rate of star tracker. The star centroid is the key factor relating the star identification and attitude determination. Naturally, there exists a problem that whether the low sampling rate of star tracker can keep the star centroid as ...

Star point centroid algorithm based on background forecast

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The calculation of star point centroid is a key step of improving star tracker measuring error. A star map photoed by APS detector includes several noises which have a great impact on veracity of calculation of star point centroid. Through analysis of characteristic of star map noise, an algorithm of calculation of star point centroid based on ...

A New Approach to Determine the Centroid of Star Spot for Star Tracker Based on MEMS-Gyro

Key Engineering Materials, 2013
Along with the development of MEMS technology, the precision of MEMS-Gyro is increasing and the range of application of MEMS-Gyro is expanding. The accuracy of centroid determination of the spot directly relates to the precision of star tracker, but, when the exposure time is shorter or the satellite is in an unstable state, the noise of detector ...
