Challenge: counting stars in image with RGB color

Question

could you write a code that do so?
or at least guide through a function?

// stars are white like (255,255,255) OR near to white color (255,253,254).
// recognizing every tiny star not needed.

Answer 1

Try using opencv, convert rgb image to grayscale, set threshold such that any near white blob becomes white and rest will tend to darker shade and then simply detect the white blob. I could provide only basic logic here, Google on how to do these thing in opencv.
