Published purpose

The long-term objective of this project is to develop a low-cost wide field-of-view (FOV) optical system for debris detection from a nanosatellite. The project will aim to develop a more compact camera capable of real-time image processing for space surveillance in challenging lighting conditions. The project objectives are to design an advanced star field simulator to accurately represent challenging imaging environment, to develop an algorithm using neural network for star and RSO detection in non-ideal light conditions, and to design a real-time adaptive camera control in response to changes in illumination conditions.
