Abstract : Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) is one of the instrument onboard ADITYA-L1, India's upcoming space observatory. SUIT will be imaging the Sun in high-resolution using 11 filters with in near UV wavelength band ( 200-400 nm). Apart from normal operations like filter wheel rotation, CCD image capturing etc., SUIT also does some on-board decision making. This includes Solar flare trigger generation, finding the location of the flare on the solar disk, defining and tracking the ROI for correcting solar rotation etc. This decision making is not trivial due to unpredictability in flaring location, time and above all on-board computational resource limitations. This presentation explains SUIT on-board decision making algorithms and its implementation scheme.
