Simulation compares six centroiding algorithms for star trackers, indicating potential uses in astrometry and adaptive optics.
This work presents numerical results of a computer simulation performed with six centroiding algorithms targeting a star tracker in development at INPE, including readout noise and considering a Gaussian point spread function. Five of the tested algorithms are light-weight centroiding algorithms with low computational costs. These were compared to a shape fitting algorithm based on the lsqnonlin function available in Matlab and GNU Octave. The algorithms studied here are also applicable for astrometry and adaptive optics.
