Data collection and target tracking using event cameras in space traffic management

Compared to conventional optical cameras, event cameras are preferred for target tracking applications in space traffic management due to their exceptional temporal resolution and inherent advantages in capturing space targets (including low-light conditions, high dynamic range, and high-speed moving targets) in challenging spatial scenes. In this paper, we utilize event cameras as the load device for space traffic management, achieving target tracking through data collection. This enhances spatial situational awareness, improves the decision-making, planning, and reaction speed of the space traffic management system, while reducing information redundancy and system risk.
