AstroTech employs Edge Segmentation and False Colour Images in order to detect and effectively visualize asteroids in space.
Using Open CV's Canny Edge Detection, we made a program to detect the edges of each of the distinguishable objects in two dataset.
Additionally, NEOSSAT's raw grayscale images are used to generate a series of false colour images using the viridis colourmap (a perceptually uniform colourmap). They are then combined sequentially into a video. This allows the viewer to easily browse through the NEOSSAT dataset visually.
