	abstract = "An approach for implementing a high precision image target centroid&#151;center of mass (COM) detection system via an adaptive <I>K</I>-winner-take-all (WTA) circuit in conjunction with a 2-D dynamic element matching (DEM) algorithm implementation for image sensor arrays is proposed. The proposed system outputs a high precision COM location of the most salient target in a programmable active region of the field of view (FOV) for star tracking purposes and is suitable for real time applications. The system allows target selection and locking with multiple targets tracking capability. This solution utilizes the separability property of the COM, and therefore reduces the computational complexity by utilizing 1-D circuits for the computation. The DEM algorithm, commonly used in ADC and DAC circuits, allows reducing the required WTA circuit precision to 5&#150;6 bits, while still achieving a high output precision. Simulation results prove the concept and demonstrate the high precision COM result. In addition, a possible low-level hardware implementation is described.",
