hello friends........
i need a program which counts the total number of galaxy stars of an image.........i think if the RGB value is less than 50.....then is wont be a star otherwise it will be detected as a star......all the clusters of the stars joined together should be considered as a single star.
its my assignment n i need to submitt it very soon...............

This post by vegaseat should get you started...
The basic algorithm I would use to start with goes something like this. As the code gets more mature I would look to refine and optimize it.
Loop through each pixel in the image:
if the pixel's calculated luminance is more than a set constant:
record pixel's location
if none of the eight neighboring pixels are recorded:
increment the star countNote that I haven't looked at this algorithm for design flaws or potential problems, but its simplicity makes it good as a starting point.
