Improved Grid Algorithm Based on Star Pair Pattern and Two-dimensional Angular Distances for Full-Sky Star Identification

A fast and robust star identification algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is derived from the grid algorithm but significantly improves the robustness by increasing the probability of the correct close neighbor star and reducing the pattern noise. Firstly, star pair patterns are const...
