A new highly robust algorithm, called Pyramid, is presented to identify the stars observed by
star trackers in the general lost‐in‐space case, where no a priori estimate of pointing is …

ABSTRACT The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) is a
suborbital surveying experiment designed to study the evolutionary history and processes of …

An algorithm for full-sky autonomous star identification is presented in this paper. Based on
the radial and cyclic features, a star pattern is successfully generated, and a guide database …

Star identification can be accomplished by several different available algorithms that identify
the stars observed by a star tracker. However, efficiency and reliability remain key issues …

A full-sky star identification algorithm based on radial and dynamic cyclic patterns is
presented with the aim of solving the “lost-in-space” problem. The dynamic cyclic pattern …

In this study, a new self-organizing guide star selection algorithm is presented, which is a
crucial part of an advanced star tracker design since the performance and reliability of star …

The objective of this research is to study different novel developed techniques for spacecraft
attitude determination methods using star tracker sensors. This dissertation addresses …

Unlike the traditional star pattern recognition algorithms that extract star features as a vector
to be matched in a database, in this article, a spider-web image is constructed and a …

An efficient star pattern recognition algorithm is presented. The purpose of this algorithm is
to make sure of the compatibility of the software and the imaging sensor noise level. The …

Star identification is the most critical and important process for attitude estimation, given data
from any star sensor. The main purpose of the Star Identification (Star-ID) process is to …
