Researchers have developed StreakMind, an AI pipeline to automatically detect and analyze satellite streaks in astronomical images. This system uses a YOLO OBB model trained on a dataset of over 2,300 images to identify streaks, reconstruct their geometry, and cross-reference them with known orbital objects. StreakMind integrates these findings into a database, aiming to improve data quality control and contribute to space situational awareness by monitoring objects in Earth orbit. The model achieved 94% precision and 97% recall on a test set, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting faint streaks and providing consistent reconstructions. AI
