Non-imaging Characterization
• As satellite image size decreases …
– Smaller satellite
– Greater distance
• the satellite becomes completely unresolved
– Satellites in geo orbit
– Cubesat-class satellites
10
Non-Imaging Technique
• Temporal filter photometry
– Measured brightness as function of time
• For an object facet to contribute to signal
– Facet must be illuminated by Sun
– Facet must be visible to sensor
Temporal photometry
• Sensor requirements are simple
– Calibrated light bucket

New satellite is launched
Debris is created
Satellite maneuvers
Object drifts
Satellite status has changed
• Track 22K objects
– Look for deviations

Multimodal Data in Speckle Imaging
17
Speckle Imaging
using Short Exposure Sequences
• High resolution details are lost in long exposures
through the atmosphere:
• However, detail is encoded in short exposure
images:
• Assume that target is constant over period of a few
seconds. Then image reconstruction is possible:

Multimodal Data
Improves Image Reconstruction
• Each wavelength experiences ~same optical path
difference (OPD) due to atmospheric turbulence
• Wavefront phase is θλ = OPD × 2π/λ
OPD in telescope pupil
Infrared images define OPD, which in turn improves visible reconstruction
