The invention discloses a
star sensor image processing method. The method includes the steps that star point extraction threshold values of all channels are calculated; according to the star point extraction threshold values of all the channels, regions which suffer
stray light disturbance are removed, pixels, of which the gray values are higher than the star point extraction threshold values, in the channels are synchronously screened out line by line according to the channels and do not suffer
stray light disturbance, the screened-out pixels are stored, and the
screening result is recorded; according to the
screening result, the screened-out pixels are recognized one by one,
mass center feature parameters of possible star points are calculated, recognizing results are recorded, and row coordinates and gray value information of the pixel on the rightmost side of the possible star point in each line are stored; according to the line coordinate and gray value information of the pixels on the rightmost sides of the possible star points and the recognizing results, the star points and
noise points are judged, and the
noise points are removed. The invention further discloses a
star sensor image processing system. The
star sensor image processing method and
system are good in function of resisting
stray light. Under the condition that the area array of a
detector is substantially increased, a high data updating rate still can be kept.
