Pixel intensity is a widely used feature for clustering and segmentation algorithms, the resulting segmentation using only intensity values might suffer from noises and lack of spatial context information. Wavelet transform is often used…
Large-scale structure (LSS) analysis in galaxy surveys is a powerful cosmological probe but is limited by tracer bias, which can obscure underlying information and weaken parameter constraints. Existing methods either model bias or restrict…
The spatial resolution of astronomical images is limited by atmospheric turbulence and diffraction in the telescope optics, resulting in blurred images. This makes it difficult to accurately measure the brightness of blended objects because…
