A novel star identification technique robust to high presence of false objects: The Multi-Poles Algorithm

Schiattarella, Vincenzo; Spiller, Dario; Curti, Fabio

This work proposes a novel technique for the star pattern recognition for the Lost in Space, named Multi-Poles Algorithm. This technique is especially designed to ensure a reliable identification of stars when there is a large number of false objects in the image, such as Single Event Upsets, hot pixels or other celestial bodies. The algorithm ide…
