Method for Assessing the Efficiency of Space Debris Image Formation and Processing by Orbital Computer Vision Systems

The paper proposes a method for assessing the efficiency of orbital computer vision systems (OCVS) for space debris (SD) monitoring, based on the metric of the total number of detected objects with an acceptable trajectory error for a specific OCVS as part of a spacecraft in a modeled space environment. The method incorporates models of the environment, objects, as well as the hardware and software components of the OCVS. Functional dependencies are presented, demonstrating the mutual influence of various modules included in the proposed method. The application of the method is demonstrated through the comparison of different system configurations, enabling quantitative evaluation of their efficiency and the justified optimization of system parameters.
