Abstract
An overview of the thermal algorithms utilized in the R3 mission is presented. The R3 satellite will have thermal algorithms to process images taken by the thermal imager. The algorithms will calculate the area of features based on whether the feature’s size matches the intended features area and on whether the temperature of the feature falls within a certain range. The center of each matching feature can be calculated and validated onboard the satellite. The algorithms will also be able to detect edges to various ends.
