Wide dynamic range CMOS image sensor for star tracking applications

open access: yes, 2015
Recent trends in space technologies highlight the importance of star trackers. Star trackers are optical-electronic devices that measure starlight directions. They are the most accurate sensors for 3-axis satellite attitude estimation. Current generation

An Accurate and Efficient Gaussian Fit Centroiding Algorithm for Star Trackers

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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.
