    In ground-based optical detection systems for mid-high orbit targets during daytime, the extremely low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of mid-high orbit imaging necessitates the use of multi-frame joint correlation detection techniques for target extraction. To address the challenge of target extraction caused by stellar paths, this paper introduces a stars removal algorithm for single-frame images. The process involves generating a background image with replaceable stars from the original image, identifying suspected targets in a single frame based on stellar imaging characteristics, detecting real stellar targets through single-frame and multi-frame association methods, and replacing stellar targets in the original image with corresponding background pixels. Experimental results show the algorithm effectively removes stars with apparent magnitudes of 4 to 9, achieving an average removal success rate of 98%. After multi-frame joint correlation detection, target intensity remains unchanged, while stellar paths are significantly reduced. The algorithm processes a full-frame image in under 12ms, meeting the real-time requirements of a 25 Hz camera frame rate. This approach significantly enhances the extraction of mid-high orbit targets using multi-frame joint correlation detection.
