However, in practice, the magnitude information of the observed star map is often difficult to use, because they might contain errors or be lost in some worst cases. To solve this problem, we proposed a multi-view double-triangle algorithm for star identification in this paper. This algorithm constructs double-triangle features of stars with the angle and distance information of star points. Moreover, to reduce the influence of noise interference on the identification accuracy of the model, we built multi-view double-triangle features for the observed star map to improve the robustness of the algorithm. Synthetic and real experiments show that our algorithm has a high identification accuracy of more than 98.4% in face of \u201cfalse star\u201d noises and \u201cmissing star\u201d noises, and our algorithm is not affected by the focal length and the shooting angle of the star sensor. Moreover, the results also show that our algorithm has good robustness, short identification time and reduced storage costs, which could be beneficial in practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20113027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]],"date-time":"2020-05-28T12:36:58Z","timestamp":1590669418000},"page":"3027","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["MVDT-SI: A Multi-View Double-Triangle Algorithm for Star Identification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Lijian","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Technology on Information Systems Engineering Laboratory, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7328-0275","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Technology on Information Systems Engineering Laboratory, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2347","article-title":"Modern celestial navigation and the key techniques","volume":"35","author":"Wang","year":"2007","journal-title":"Tien Tzu Hsueh Pao\/Acta Electron.
