DUCHAMP: a 3D source finder for spectral-line data
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the DUCHAMP source finder, a piece of software designed to find and describe sources in three-dimensional, spectral-line data cubes. DUCHAMP has been developed with H I (neutral hydrogen) observations in mind, but is widely applicable to many types of astronomical images. It features efficient source detection and handling methods, noise suppression via smoothing or multi-resolution wavelet reconstruction, and a range of graphical and text-based outputs to allow the user to understand the detections. This paper details some of the key algorithms used and illustrates the effectiveness of the finder on different data sets.

A Framework for HI Spectral Source Finding Using Distributed-Memory Supercomputing
The latest generation of radio astronomy interferometers will conduct all sky surveys with data products consisting of petabytes of spectral line data. Traditional approaches to identifying and parameterising the astrophysical sources within this data will not scale to datasets of this magnitude, since the performance of workstations will not keep up with the real-time generation of data. For t...
متن کاملA new spectral apparent horizon finder for 3D numerical relativity
We present a new spectral-method based algorithm for finding apparent horizons in three-dimensional spacelike hypersurfaces without symmetries. While there are already a wide variety of algorithms for finding apparent horizons, our new algorithm does not suffer from the same weakness as previous spectral apparent horizon finders: namely the monopolar coefficient (l = 0 in terms of the spherical...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Indoor VR-Models by a Mobile Robot with a Laser Range Finder and a Color Camera
We present an intuitive method to generate visually convincing 3D models of indoor environments from data collected by a single 2D laser range finder and a color camera. The 2D map created from the laser data forms the basis of a line model which serves as floor plan for the 3D model. The walls of this model are textured using the color images. In contrast to panoramic images where the resoluti...
متن کاملA Fully Integrated Range-Finder Based on the Line-Stripe Method
In this paper, an imaging chip for acquiring range information using by 0.35 μm CMOS technology and 5V power supply has been described. The system can extract range information without any mechanical movement and all the signal processing is done on the chip. All of the image sensors and mixed-signal processors are integrated in the chip. The design range is 1.5m-10m with 18 scales.
متن کاملA 3D laser range finder for autonomous mobile robots
This paper presents a high quality, low cost 3D laser range finder designed for autonomous mobile systems. The 3D laser is built on the base of a 2D range finder by the extension with a standard servo. The servo is controlled by a computer running RT-Linux. The scan resolution ( 5 cm) for a complete 3D scan of an area of 150 (h) 90 (v) degree is up to 115000 points and can be grabbed in 12 seco...
