SVM-based classification selection algorithm for the automatic selection of guide star

摘要

A new general method of the automatic selection of guide star, which based on a new dynamic Visual Magnitude Threshold (VMT) hyper-plane and the Support Vector Machines (SVM), is introduced. The high dimensional nonlinear VMT plane can be easily obtained by using the SVM, then the guide star sets are generated by the SVM classifier. The experiment results demonstrate that the catalog obtained by the proposed algorithm has a lot of advantages including, fewer total numbers, smaller catalog size and better distribution uniformity.
