چکیده
In this paper we present an automated method for classifying astronomical objects in multispectral wide-field images. The method is divided into three main tasks. The first one consists of locating and matching the objects in the multispectral images. In the second task we create a new representation for each astronomical object using its multispectral images, and also we find a set of features using principal component analysis. In the last task we classify the astronomical objects using neural networks, locally weighted linear regression and random forest. Preliminary results show that the method obtains over 93% accuracy classifying stars and galaxies.

متن کاملFusion of Astronomical Multiband Images on a Markovian quadtree
Over the last few years, an enormous amount of studies has been devoted to astronomical image restoration. The new challenge, nowadays, has been reported on the use of multichannel techniques to restore, segment and classify such images. The multichannel image segmentation problem, is a new field of great interest for the astronomical community. This paper presents an unsupervised method to aut...
متن کاملKohonen Self Organizing for Automatic Identification of Cartographic Objects
Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...
متن کاملNeural nets and star/galaxy separation in wide field astronomical images
One of the most relevant problems in the extraction of scientifically useful information from wide field astronomical images (both photographic plates and CCD frames) is the recognition of the objects against a noisy background and their classification in unresolved (starlike) and resolved (galaxies) sources. In this paper we present a neural network based method capable to perform both tasks a...
