Abstract
Space Domain Awareness relies on a network of surveillance architectures to catalog passive and active space object data. This paper analyzes the performance of several detection and tracking algorithms using different hardware-in-the-loop test configurations. Several image sources are tested, including simulated images generated with the Hipparcos and Space Object catalogs, and real images taken from a Nocturn XL camera. The Moving Target Indicator (MTI), Multiple Hypothesis Tracking, and Finite Set Statistics algorithms are tested, implemented, and compared in this study.
