Federated Learning (FL) aims to train a machine learning (ML) model in a distributed fashion to strengthen data privacy with limited data migration costs. It is a distributed learning framework naturally suitable for privacy-sensitive…
Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is an observational method to obtain spatially resolved spectra over a specific field of view (FoV) in a single exposure. In recent years, near-infrared IFS has gained importance in observing objects with…
We propose the deep progressive image compression using trit-planes (DPICT) algorithm, which is the first learning-based codec supporting fine granular scalability (FGS). First, we transform an image into a latent tensor using an analysis…
Fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) generated using iterated function systems (IFS) provide a powerful framework for modeling self-similar and irregular data, yet traditional constructions often neglect geometric fidelity such as…
The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is a first light client science instrument for the TMT observatory that operates as a client of the NFIRAOS facility multi-conjugate adaptive optics system. This paper reports on the concept study…
Hyperatlas is an open standard intended to facilitate the large-scale federation of image-based data. The subject of hyperatlas is the space of sphere-to-plane projection mappings (the FITS-WCS information), and the standard consists of…
This volume contains the proceedings of F-IDE 2021, the sixth international workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environment, which was held online on May 24-25, 2021, as part of NFM'21, the 13th NASA Formal Methods Symposium. High…
Autoregressive models have achieved significant success in image generation. However, unlike the inherent hierarchical structure of image information in the spectral domain, standard autoregressive methods typically generate pixels…
In this work, we propose a new physical layer security framework for optical space networks. More precisely, we consider two practical eavesdropping scenarios: free-space optical (FSO) eavesdropping in the space and FSO eavesdropping in the…
We describe a concept for an imaging spectrograph for a large orbiting observatory such as NASA's proposed Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) based on an imaging Fourier transform spectrograph (IFTS). An IFTS has several important…
Far-infrared (FIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) fine-structure lines (FSLs) are widely used for studying galaxies nearby and faraway. However, interpreting these lines is complicated by factors including sample and data bias, mismatch between…
Image harmonization aims to generate a more realistic appearance of foreground and background for a composite image. Existing methods perform the same harmonization process for the whole foreground. However, the implanted foreground always…
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including the young proto-planets themselves. Here, we will present…
Fault Tree (FT) is a standard failure modeling technique that has been extensively used to predict reliability, availability and safety of many complex engineering systems. In order to facilitate the formal analysis of FT based analyses, a…
I describe a new, open-source astronomical image-fitting program called Imfit, specialized for galaxies but potentially useful for other sources, which is fast, flexible, and highly extensible. A key characteristic of the program is an…
In this thesis, wide-field 2D spectroscopy is employed in order to characterise the nebular properties of late-type field galaxies. The observations performed for this dissertation represent the first endeavour to obtain full 2D coverage of…
