Field Detail

xyIM

private double[][] xyIM

2D vector with the stars' X-Y pixels coordinates on the CCD image.

xyDB

private double[][] xyDB

2D vector with the stars' X-Y pixels coordinates in the database.

dPolarIM

private Point2D.Double[][] dPolarIM

Polar coordinates distances for each image stars with respect to all image stars.

dPolarDB

private Point2D.Double[][] dPolarDB

Polar coordinates distances for each database stars with respect to all database stars.

nObj

private int nObj

Number of objects found in the image;

nRef

private int nRef

Number of reference (catalog) stars found in the database.

deltaPix

private double deltaPix

The expected uncertainity of the catalog positions in pixels. From this the maximum acceptable (polar coordinate) distance deviation for matching star pairs is calculated.

match

private int[] match

Vector with nObj size holding the matched catalog star indexes for each object in the CCD image. For the unmatched stars the index value is set to -1.

Constructor Detail

StarRegister

public StarRegister(double[][] _xyIM,
                    double[][] _xyDB)

Constructor. xyIM - 2D array with identified star coordinates ordered by magnitude. xyDB - 2D array with database star coordinates ordered by magnitude.

Method Detail

calcDistances

private int calcDistances()

Calculates and stores the polar coordinate distances for each pairs of star in the CCD image and in the catalog.

setDeltaPix

public void setDeltaPix(double _deltaPix)

Sets the expected uncertainity of the catalog positions in pixels. From this the maximum acceptable (polar coordinate) distance deviation for matching star pairs is calculated in findMatches.

findMatches

public int findMatches()

Assumption: all the stars can be seen in the image can also be found in the catalog.

getXYShift

public double[] getXYShift()

Returns the average x-y shifts calculated from the star matches.

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Test the class.
