Intro
Institution:
California State University, Los Angeles.
The
goal is to research autonomous image analysis on the First Look Survey.
People
Faculty:
Jianyu Dong (Dept. of Electrical Engineering), Susan Terebey (dept. of
Physics and Astronomy).
Students:
Sonny Orellana, Lei Zhao, Michael Wai, Anne Sullivan, Rich Nguyen.Research
Develop
an autonomous astronomical image viewer and analyzer for FITS astronomical
image files.
Develop
an autonomous object detection algorithm to facilitate the analysis of the
First Look Survey. Research is currently conducted to improve the accuracy
of object detection when clouds are present in the image.
Verification
of the autonomous object detection is being conducted based on the joint
efforts of students in Electrical Engineering and Physical Science.
A
user-friendly software tool with graphical user interface is being developed
to integrate the functions of the FITS image viewer, analyzer, and
autonomous object detection.ADD ANNE SULLIVAN'S RESEARCH HERE
