Star Trackers 1. Acquire Image 2. Find a few big stars 3. Match constellations to database
Compressive Star Trackers 1. Acquire Compressed Image 2. Find a few big stars 3. Match constellations to database 2.5 Decompress
1. Compression (folding)
2. Find a few big stars ● This is just like the regular algorithm ● Except faster, because we have smaller images Fold 1 Fold 2
2.5a Match stars ● Label the stars in Fold 1 ● Find stars that look similar in Fold 2 Fold 1 Fold
2.5b Decompress Decompress the labels one at a time. x x
Compressive Star Trackers 1. Acquire Compressed Image 2. Find a few big stars 3. Match constellations to database 2.5 Label and Decompress 2x
Hardware ● Why now? ● Falling cost of computation relative to sensing ● Potential implementations ● Mirrors ● Lenses ● Integrated circuit (CMOS)
Generalizations ● Two folds --> Many folds ● Random --> Adversarial star placement ● Stars --> Local, distinguishable objects ● Full paper (with pictures)
Empirical Results Std of noise added to each folded pixel Fraction of correct recoveries Tiling is robust to compression
