ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The detection of faint and small targets by space-based surveillance systems is difficult owing to the long distances, low energies, high speeds, high false alarm rates, and low algorithmic efficiencies involved in the process. To improve space object detection and help prevent collisions with critical facilities such as satellites, this study proposes an improved method for the detection of faint and small space-based targets. The proposed method consists of two components star atlas preprocessing and space-based target detection. The star atlas preprocessing step applies multi-exposure image pyramidal weighted fusion to the original image containing the faint and small space-based target. After obtaining the image pyramidal weighted fusion result atlas, the algorithm employs threshold segmentation to improve the overall image clarity, highlight image details, and provide additional information for target detection. The detection of targets partially relies on the local symmetry of the image. Accordingly, a diffusion function describing the local symmetry is established to precisely locate stars by measuring the symmetry factor in a small area surrounding each pixel in the star atlas. This effectively removes the background stars while retaining high-definition and high-contrast images. The efficacy of the algorithm is validated using simulated datasets consisting of space-based and real images. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique improves the applicability of the multistage hypothesis testing (MHT) method in the context of a complex space environment, thus improving the performance of the space-based electro-optical detection system to better catalogue, identify, and track space targets.
