Asteroids detection is a very important research field that received
increased attention in the last couple of decades. Some major surveys have
their own dedicated people, equipment and detection applications, so they are
discovering Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) daily. The interest in asteroids is not
limited to those major surveys, it is shared by amateurs and mini-surveys too.
A couple of them are using the few existent software solutions, most of which
are developed by amateurs. The rest obtain their results in a visual manner:
they “blink” a sequence of reduced images of the same field, taken at a
specific time interval, and they try to detect a real moving object in the
resulting animation. Such a technique becomes harder with the increase in size
of the CCD cameras. Aiming to replace manual detection, we propose an automated
“blink” technique for asteroids detection.
