Abstract

Traditionally, most star identification algorithms are based on the characteristics of angular distance, such as polygon match algorithms, triangle algorithms and group match algorithms. Though they are easy to use, these algorithms require a relatively large storage capacity because their matching features are line segments (angular distances) or triangles.
