We describe the method used to detect sources for the Herschel-ATLAS survey. The method is to filter the individual bands using a matched filter, based on the point-spread function (PSF) and confusion noise, and then form the inverse…
We present the first public version of SImMER, an open-source Python reduction pipeline for astronomical images of point sources. Current capabilities include dark-subtraction, flat-fielding, sky-subtraction, image registration, FWHM…
Nonlinear lens distortion rectification is a common first step in image processing applications where the assumption of a linear camera model is essential. For rectifying the lens distortion, forward distortion model needs to be known.…
We present Hyper-Py, a fully restructured and extended Python implementation of HYPER (HYbrid Photometry and Extraction Routine, Traficante et al. 2015). HYPER was originally implemented in IDL, aiming to deliver robust and reproducible…
Tracking the dynamics of non-canonical biological systems in microscopy videos remains a persistent challenge. Both classical and learning-based trackers depend on expert-reviewed data to be evaluated and adapted, yet exhaustive manual…
In large-scale spatial surveys, such as the forthcoming ESA Euclid mission, images may be undersampled due to the optical sensors sizes. Therefore, one may consider using a super-resolution (SR) method to recover aliased frequencies, prior…
We have begun a large-scale photometric survey of nearby open clusters and star-forming regions, the Monitor project, aiming to measure time-series photometry for >10,000 cluster members over >10 sq.deg of sky, to find low-mass eclipsing…
The Topological Signal Processing (TSP) framework has been recently developed to analyze signals defined over simplicial complexes, i.e. topological spaces represented by finite sets of elements that are closed under inclusion of subsets…
We introduce the two-point propagation field (TPPF), a real-valued, phase-sensitive quantity defined as the functional derivative of the single-photon detection probability with respect to an infinitesimal opaque perturbation placed between…
Camera pose tracking attracts much interest both from academic and industrial communities, of which the methods based on planar markers are easy to be implemented. However, most of the existing methods need to identify multiple points in…
We present scope (Simulated CCD Observations for Photometric Experimentation), a Python package to create a forward model of telescope detectors and simulate stellar targets with motion relative to the CCD. The primary application of this…
We explore the impact of different telescope apertures on the image simulation and deconvolution processes within the context of a synthetic star field. Using HCIPy and Python programming, we modelled six telescope apertures namely…
Imaging devices exploit the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to avoid both aliasing and redundant oversampling by design. Conversely, in medical image resampling, images are considered as continuous functions, are warped by a spatial…
We consider the problem of direction finding using partly calibrated arrays, a distributed subarray with position errors between subarrays. The key challenge is to enhance angular resolution in the presence of position errors. To achieve…
Optical microscopy is an essential tool in biology and medicine. Imaging thin, yet non-flat objects in a single shot (without relying on more sophisticated sectioning setups) remains challenging as the shallow depth of field that comes with…
Coherent imaging systems, such as medical ultrasound and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), are subject to corruption from speckle due to sub-resolution scatterers. Since speckle is multiplicative in nature, the constituent image regions…
Microseismic source imaging plays a significant role in passive seismic monitoring. However, such a process is prone to failure due to aliasing when dealing with sparsely measured data. Thus, we propose a direct microseismic imaging…
A simple, yet general, formalism for the optimized linear combination of astrophysical images is constructed and demonstrated. The formalism allows the user to combine multiple undersampled images to provide oversampled output at high…
We present a method of centroiding undersampled point spread functions (PSFs) that may be useful, especially when dithering is not an option. If the profile of the expected PSF is known fairly well through characterization of the telescope…
In a continued quest to monitor subsecond surface dynamics on the atomic scale and to improve imaging resolution, a FAST module to accelerate existing scanning probe microscopy setups was previously presented. Hereby, the speedup is enabled…
