Abstract
A method for controlling a movement of a vehicle is provided. An input image is received in which stars are present from a camera system for the vehicle. A subpixel probability image is generated by a machine learning model system from the input image in which the stars are present. The input image is comprised of pixels and the subpixel probability image is comprised of subpixel coordinates describing subpixel locations having probabilities of a presence of the stars. The subpixel coordinates for the subpixel locations of the stars is generated from the subpixel probability image. An orientation of the vehicle is determined using the subpixel coordinates for the subpixel locations of the stars. The movement of the vehicle is controlled using the orientation of the vehicle.
