2019 Sensors  
This paper presents an adaptive real-time detection algorithm for GSO debris in the charge coupled device (CCD) images.  ...  Geosynchronous orbit (GSO) is the ideal orbit for communication, navigation, meteorology and other satellites, but the space of GSO is limited, and there are still a large number of space debris threatening  ...  Acknowledgments: The authors would like to thank the editor and the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions.  ...

Three Methods Of Determining Magnitudes Of Individual Stars In Resolved Binary Systems

Lewis C. Roberts Jr., Theo ten Brummelaar
1998 Zenodo  
The standard bispectrum technique is used to reconstruct images from speckle data, but it requires the observation of calibration stars, which are not needed in the standard speckle method.  ...  Three methods for measuring the differential magnitudes of resolved binary stars are investigated: adaptive optics (AO), aperture masking and bispectrum analysis.  ...  writing my dissertation, I promised myself two things: the first was that my title would not be one of these long titles full of polysyllabic words, and the other was that my acknowledgments would not be a  ...
