Abstract

This paper presents a suggestion for using image understanding (IU) methods in a telescope guiding system, which is an example of a real-time system. In the presented approach, the guiding system uses a knowledge base to describe a time-varying situation and respond to it adequately. The large domain of understanding (the space of image features and time) is split to subspaces where the understanding tasks are simplified. The use of the IU idea to control the telescope motors and to optimize the system parameters is also discussed in the paper.
