| Write an Evaluation Pipeline for Star Tracker Algorithm || A star tracker takes pictures of the sky and identifies constellations of stars in the images to determine the orientation of the camera that took the image, and, by extension, the satellite. We need a comprehensive package that helps us test the performance of the star tracker. Working on this project can involve designing and coding up plots and other diagnostics as well as testing our code on real images of the sky. Also see the below related project that involves simulating synthetic images of the sky to feed into this test system. || We will explain all the plots and diagnostics necessary for star tracker development and guide you through how to use all of the image analysis packages. This is a great project to learn about how to use these tools and how the star tracker works. In addition, this project is a great way to learn about positional and photometric astronomy, image analysis, and some miscellaneous computer science and probability stuff used in astronomy, image processing, and elsewhere. Basic python familiarity helpful but not required. | | Write an Evaluation Pipeline for Star Tracker Algorithm || A star tracker takes pictures of the sky and identifies constellations of stars in the images to determine the orientation of the camera that took the image, and, by extension, the satellite.
