In a companion article, we discussed the radiometric sensitivity and resolution of a new passive optical sensing technique, Space-Time Projection Optical Tomography (SPOT), to detect and track sub-cm and larger space debris for Space Situational Awareness. SPOT is based on the principle that long synthetic exposure can be achieved if the phase-space trajectory of a hypothetical point-source is precisely predictable within a very wide telescope field-of-view, which is the case for orbiting debris. This article discusses the computational search space for debris mining as well as a recursive measure-and-fit algorithm based on a generalized Hough transform for orbit determination.
