This book summarizes the research advances in star identification
that the author’s team has made over the past 10 years,
systematically introducing the principles of star identification,
general methods, key techniques and practicable algorithms. It also
offers examples of hardware implementation and performance
evaluation for the star identification algorithms. Star
identification is the key step for celestial navigation and greatly
improves the performance of star sensors, and as such the book
include the fundamentals of star sensors and celestial navigation,
the processing of the star catalog and star images, star
identification using modified triangle algorithms, star
identification using star patterns and using neural networks, rapid
star tracking using star matching between adjacent frames, as well
as implementation hardware and using performance tests for star
identification. It is not only valuable as a reference book for
star sensor designers and researchers working in pattern
recognition and other related research fields, but also as teaching
resource for senior postgraduate and graduate students majoring in
information processing, computer science, artificial intelligence,
aeronautics and astronautics, automation and instrumentation. Dr.
