Abstract

When the frame transfer CCD image sensor shooting star-sky background image, the smear phenomenon caused by high brightness stars in the field of view will seriously affect the target detection. For removing the smear phenomenon, a smear removal algorithm based on wavelet transform in star-sky image was proposed. According to the mechanism of smear and characteristics of the star-sky image, the model of smear problem was established, the smear line was separated into the high frequency components and vertical components by using multi-layer two-dimension haar wavelet transform, and the smear-removed image was reconstructed. The experimental results show that the method can effectively remove smear and retain original image information, and enhance the SNR of small target in smear area.
