Satellite tracking with video cameras
Processing depends on 3rd party executables (`source-extractor`, `hough3dlines` and `solve-field`). Add in a check to see that these executables are available in the path, and check four different naming schemes...
SKimage has morphology functions that can remove blobs. ``` from skimage import morphology morphology.remove\_small\_objects(data, min\_size=32, out=data) ``` This approach seemed to work well on masks from `sigma` frames [`(max -...
Satellites which are predicted to be visible but are not detected as trails (or track & stack), should be logged to allow manual inspection.
Faint satellites may not stand out as trails in the images, but can be detected by stacking the individual frame timestamps after correcting for the predicted motion of the satellite....
:bulb: **Feature request** Make stvid a Python Package so that it can be installed (including its Python dependencies) using `pip`. The distribution of this project will continue to happen via...
For bright satellites the significance `s=(max-mean)/std` is reduced as the satellite is visible in the mean and standard deviation images. This leads to issues using the line finding algorithm. Investigate...
Currently `process.py` performs all processing functions: initial astrometric calibration, star finding, astrometric calibration, computing satellite predictions, extracting satellite tracks and storing the results. These functions should be split off into...
https://github.com/cbassa/stvid/blob/57b11b163c423833a7ef1b2a5d03cf775ea147dd/configuration.ini-dist#L58-L62 stvid currently uses a minimum number of points from raw points or hough3dlines -a configuration option of “proportional track points” would be useful in further limiting false positives. For...
The experienced user might understand the following: `2020-03-10T03:43:11.599.fits 208.206416 57.784151 517/ 674 10.5 10.6 21.76 +- 3.75` ...but a new user could use some help in what it means. I...
Initially this could be done just for frames that are used for astrometric solutions, and applied to the entire session, or alternatively, provide the option to evaluate every image. I...
