A SLIC-DBSCAN Based Algorithm for Extracting Effective Sky Region from a Single Star Image

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The star tracker is widely used for high-accuracy missions due to its high accuracy position high autonomy and low power consumption. On the other hand, the ability of interference suppression of the star tracker has always been a hot issue of concern. A

Exposure Time Optimization for Highly Dynamic Star Trackers

open access: yesSensors, 2014
Under highly dynamic conditions, the star-spots on the image sensor of a star tracker move across many pixels during the exposure time, which will reduce star detection sensitivity and increase star location errors.

Star Catalog Criteria Selection and Mission Catalog Update for a Typical Star Tracker [PDF]

open access: yesفصلنامه علوم و فناوری فضایی, 2013
Star tracker is an attitude determination device which determines the satellite or spacecraft’s attitude using the star position information in inertial and body references. Star information is collected and stored onboard as a “Star or mission catalog”.

An Evaluation of Low-Cost Vision Processors for Efficient Star Identification

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Star trackers are navigation sensors that are used for attitude determination of a satellite relative to certain stars. A star tracker is required to be accurate and also consume as little power as possible in order to be used in small satellites.

Correction of rotational blur in images of stars observed by an astroinertial attitude sensor against the background of the daytime sky

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2023
A rotational blur correction algorithm is considered as the initial stage of image processing in the problem of attitude measurement using a star tracker. To implement this algorithm, the star tracker must be equipped with a three-axis gyroscope.
