Paper Abstract
Current efforts aimed at detecting and identifying Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that pose potential risks to Earth use
moderately sized telescopes combined with image processing algorithms to detect the motion of these objects. The
search strategies of such systems involve multiple revisits at given intervals between observations to the same area of the
sky so that objects that appear to move between the observations can be identified against the static star field. Dynamic
Logic algorithm, derived from Modeling Field Theory, has made significant improvements in detection, tracking, and
fusion of ground radar images. As an extension to this, the research in this paper will examine Dynamic Logic's ability
to detect NEOs with minimal human-in-the-loop intervention. Although the research in this paper uses asteroids for the
automation detection, the ultimate extension to this study is for detecting orbital debris. Many asteroid orbits are well
defined, so they will serve as excellent test cases for our new algorithm application.
