Use of Mathematic Morphological Operators for Processing the Smeared Images of A Camera without Shutter

In the observation of space objects with a full-frame transfer CCD camera, the camera shutter is often removed, and therefore the smeared images are produced, which affect seriously the object detection and location. Based on the difference of geometrical morphology between star images and smears, a mathematical morphology method is proposed to process the smeared images. By comparing the position accuracies of stars and space objects before and after processing, it is veri?ed that the morphological method can effectively remove the smears from astronomical images, and can signi?cantly improve the detection rates and position accuracies of stars and moving objects. The result indicates that this is an effective method to eliminate the smearing effect.

Precise Determination of the Orientation of the Solar Image

Accurate heliographic coordinates of objects on the Sun have to be known in several fields of solar physics. One of the factors that affect the accuracy of the measurements of the heliographic coordinates is the accuracy of the orientation of a solar image. In this paper the well-known drift method for determining the orientation of the solar image is applied to data taken with a solar telescope equipped with a CCD camera. The factors that influence the accuracy of the method are systematically discussed, and the necessary corrections are determined. These factors are as follows: the trajectory of the center of the solar disk on the CCD with the telescope drive turned off, the astronomical refraction, the change of the declination of the Sun, and the optical distortion of the telescope. The method can be used on any solar telescope that is equipped with a CCD camera and is capable of taking solar full-disk images. As an example to illustrate the method and its application, the orientation of solar images taken with the Gyula heliograph is determined. As a byproduct, a new method to determine the optical distortion of a solar telescope is proposed.     

Improved astrometry of space debris with image restoration

In order to implement an observing strategy,image degradation that occurs during optical observation of space debris is ineluctable and has distinct characteristics. Image restoration is presented as a way to remove the influence of degradation in CCD images of space debris,based on assumed PSF models with the same FWHM as images of the object. In the process of image restoration,the maximum entropy method is adopted. The results of reduction using observed raw CCD images indicate that the precision in estimating positions of objects is improved and the effects of degradation are reduced. Improving the astrometry of space debris using image restoration is effective and feasible.     

Research on Improving SNR of Large Angle Synchronous Satellite Based on Sub-pixel Translation and Superposition

Geosynchronous satellite with big inclination is not completely stationary relative to the ground. Its sub-satellite point moves periodically in the north-south direction with ground track of shape like “8”. The larger the inclination angle is, the larger the range of motion is. Such effect makes the effective exposure time of Geosynchronous satellite limited when observe it by optical telescope with stare mode, and the SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) of Geosynchronous satellite image could not be increased with long exposure time. In the monitoring of Geosynchronous orbit without changing hardware, a method called sub-pixel translating superposition of successive frames of images is proposed. By translating and aligning images in the sub-pixel scale according to the moving speed of the object and the time interval of the adjacent frame images, the positions of the Geosynchronous satellite in the image sequences are coincident, and then by superposition of these translational images, the SNR of moving Geosynchronous objects and the detection capability of the whole system can be improved. Results of superposition of real observed images show that the method can remarkably improve the SNR of moving. When five images are superimposed, compared with the SNR of the original image, the SNR of the superimposed image by integer pixels is increased by around 1.7 times, and the SNR of the superimposed image by sub-pixel is increased by about 2 times.

基于亚像素图像平移叠加提高大倾角同步卫星信噪比的方法研究

大倾角地球同步轨道(GEO)卫星相对地面并非完全静止,其星下点做南北方向的"8"字周期运动,倾角越大运动范围越大.这会降低地面望远镜对其进行凝视观测时的有效曝光时间,无法获得较高的信噪比.对地球同步轨道的监测中,在硬件条件不变的前提下,提出亚像素图像平移叠加方法.根据目标的运动速度和相邻帧图像的时间间隔,在亚像素尺度平移并对齐多幅图像,使GEO目标星象在图像序列中的位置重合,通过叠加多幅序列图像来提高目标信噪比,从而达到提升整个系统探测能力的目的.实测图像叠加结果表明,该方法可以显著提高该类目标的信噪比.叠加5幅图像时,整数像素叠加图像的信噪比约为原图像的1.7倍,而亚像素叠加图像的信噪比是原图像的2倍左右.     

HIGH SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL RESOLUTION OPTICAL SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE OF METEOROID FRAGMENTATION

A digital image intensified CCD camera with an electronically gated image intensifier was used to produce very short duration images of meteors. The observational system employed a 0.40 m F/4.5 Newtonian telescope to obtain high spatial resolution. A second intensified CCD camera was used to yield height information using parallax. At a typical meteor height one pixel (for the vertically oriented system) corresponded to about 1.1 m. A sampling of 59 mainly sporadic meteors was analyzed. There is clear variability from meteor to meteor, with many meteors (nearly 50%) showing only a small amount of wake, while some meteors (approximately 20%) have the off segments completely filled in.
