We present DeepStreaks, a convolutional-neural-network, deep-learning system
designed to efficiently identify streaking fast-moving near-Earth objects that
are detected in the data of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a wide-field,
time-domain survey using a dedicated 47 sq. deg camera attached to the Samuel
Oschin 48-inch Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California, United
States. The system demonstrates a 96-98% true positive rate, depending on the
night, while keeping the false positive rate below 1%. The sensitivity of
DeepStreaks is quantified by the performance on the test data sets as well as
using known near-Earth objects observed by ZTF. The system is deployed and
adapted for usage within the ZTF Solar-System framework and has significantly
reduced human involvement in the streak identification process, from several
hours to typically under 10 minutes per day.
