Formulation of the problem. In the process of software processing of highly distorted optical images (OI) of distant objects formed in ground-based telescopes, it becomes necessary to solve the problems of estimating the parameters of background radiation, filtering images of information objects, isolating them on the original OIs, and classifying them. This situation is typical when processing images of both a single object and moving space objects in images of the starry sky. In this regard, the authors, within the framework of the object-oriented approach, have developed a universal design pattern that makes it possible to implement the necessary processing from a single point of view.Objective. Development of a prototype for software implementation of algorithms for solving the aforementioned problems within the framework of the design pattern proposed by the authors. Examining the possibility of its use in the development of software architecture, with examples of OI processing obtained in natural conditions.Results. The article presents the results of the development of the software implementation algorithms architecture for processing distorted OIs of remote space objects formed in ground-based telescopes. Within the framework of the objectoriented programming paradigm using the Universal Modeling Language (UML), a description of the main components of static and dynamic architecture models is provided. For the static model, a new representation of the OI is proposed using a set of Boolean matrices. Within the framework of the dynamic model, a universal template (interface) has been developed for the implementation of algorithms for processing distorted OIs using UML activity diagrams. Its particularization is given when solving the problems of highlighting individual structural elements in the image of a single object and highlighting the tracks of moving objects in the image of the starry sky.Practical significance. The developed software implementations of low-quality optical image processing algorithms can be used in the modernization of software systems for ground-based telescopes.
