Abstract: In some embodiments, space objects may be detected within shortwave infrared (SWIR) images captured during the daytime. Some embodiments include obtaining a stacked image by stacking shortwave infrared (SWIR) images. A spatial background-difference image may be generated based on the stacked image, and a matched-filter image may be obtained based on the spatial background-difference image. A binary mask may be generated based on the matched-filter image. The binary mask may include a plurality of bits each of which including a first value or a second value based on whether a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) associated with that bit satisfies a threshold condition. Output data may be generated based on the spatial background-difference image and the binary mask, where the output data provides observations on detected space objects in orbit.
