An Accurate and Efficient Gaussian Fit Centroiding Algorithm for Star Trackers
This paper presents a novel centroiding algorithm for star trackers. The proposed algorithm, which is referred to as the Gaussian Grid algorithm, fits an elliptical Gaussian function to the measured pixel data and derives explicit expressions to ...

CMOS pixels crosstalk mapping and its influence on measurements accuracy for space applications [PDF]
Due to different local intra-pixel sensitivity and crosstalk between neighboring pixels, the Pixel Response Function of detectors (PRF - signal of the pixel as a function of a point source position) is generally non-uniform.
