Abstract:
A method for removing satellite trails from images includes the following: obtaining an initial image having stars, locating stars in the image, removing the located stars from the initial image to form a star-removed image, locating the satellite trail in the star-removed image, determining brightness information for the satellite trail in the initial image, creating a satellite-trail-containing image with only satellite trail brightness information based on the determined brightness information, and subtracting the satellite-trail-containing image from the initial image to remove the satellite trail so as to form a satellite-trail-removed image. Systems for removing satellite trails from images are also provided, as are other aspects.
