Astroid Detection Technology

How AstroTech Works

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.
