A Frame Correlation and Kalman Filtering Algorithm for Space Debris Detection

摘要

An algorithm with frame correlative detection and Kalman filtering tracking was proposed to detect the multiple space debris in the optical astronomical images. It can reduce the large amount of calculation of sequential images. When the debris is covered by the star or disappears in view sight temporarily, the debris position can be estimated by Kalman filtering. At the end of the paper, a detection and tracking simulation is carried out. The results indicate that our algorithm is very effective for the space debris detection and tracking.
