Abstract :
An efficient texture-based method is presented to identify the stars in the sensor field. Each star is modeled as a group of extensions to local binary pattern (LBP) that is calculated over a circular region around the star. The approach provides us with many advantages compared to the state-of-the art. Experimental results clearly justify our model.
