Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processor includes a setter and a corrector. The setter sets correction information to cause an entirety of an object image to be viewable when an image projected onto a projection surface is viewed from a viewpoint. The object image is projected from a projection position. The setting is performed based on information relating to a configuration of the projection surface where the object image is projected, information relating to the projection position, and information relating to a position of the viewpoint. The corrector corrects the object image based on the correction information.

Abstract: A star tracker has an electronically steerable point of view, without requiring a precision aiming mechanism. The star tracker can be strapped down, thereby avoiding problems associated with precision aiming of mechanical devices. The star tracker images selectable narrow portions of a scene, such as the sky. Each stellar sighting can image a different portion of the sky, depending on which navigational star or group of navigational stars is of interest. The selectability of the portion of the sky imaged enables the star tracker to avoid unwanted light, such as from the sun.
