Resumen:
In this work we present a method for autonomous discovery of asteroids, space trash and other moving objects. This system performs astronomical image data reduction based on an image processing pipeline. The processing steps of the pipeline include source extraction, astrometric and photometric reduction, sequence alignment, moving object detection and astronomical analysis. Experimentation with synthetic and real images shows that the presented method is very effective for the detection of asteroids and even other faint objects. Morevover, it can be used with a robotic telescope to achive an autonomous system for astronomical discoveries.
