Technical Note: Asteroid Detection Demonstration from SkySat-3 B612 Data using Synthetic Tracking [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01102


We report results from analyzing the B612 asteroid observation data taken by the sCMOS cameras on board of Planet SkySat-3 using the synthetic tracking technique. The analysis demonstrates the expected sensitivity improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio of the asteroids from properly stacking up the the short exposure images in post-processing.
