Asteroid Discovery and Light Curve Extraction Using the Hough Transform -- A Rotation Period Study for Sub-Kilometer Main-Belt Asteroids

Kai-Jie Lo, Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin +8

The intra-night trajectories of asteroids can be approximated by straight lines, and so are their intra-night detections. Therefore, the Hough transform, a line detecting algorithm…
