Acceleration of the Sparse Modeling imaging tool for ALMA radio interferometric data

Sparse modeling is widely used in image processing, signal processing, and machine learning recently. Thanks to the research and progress in statistical mathematics along with the evolution of computational power, the technique is applicable to the …

Image reconstruction method for an X-ray telescope with an angular resolution booster

We propose an image reconstruction method for an X-ray telescope with an angular resolution booster proposed by Y. Maeda et al. at ISAS/JAXA. The booster consists of double coded masks in front of an X-ray mirror. In order to have a better sky image …

New synthesis imaging tool for ALMA based on the sparse modeling

A new imaging tool for radio interferometry has been developed based on the sparse modeling approach. It has been implemented as a Python module operating on Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) so that the tool is able to process the data …

Super-resolution imaging of the protoplanetary disk HD 142527 using sparse modeling

High-resolution observations of protoplanetary disks with radio interferometers are crucial for understanding the planet formation process. Recent observations using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have revealed various …

Evaluation of large pixel CMOS image sensors for the Tomo-e Gozen wide field camera

Tomo-e Gozen (Tomo-e) is a wide field optical camera for the Kiso 1.05 m f/3.1 Schmidt telescope operated by the University of Tokyo. Tomo-e is equipped with 84 chips of front-illuminated CMOS image sensors with a microlens array. The field of view …

The Tomo-e Gozen wide field CMOS camera for the Kiso Shmidt telescope

The Tomo-e Gozen is a wide-field high-speed camera for the Kiso 1.0-m Schmidt telescope, with a field-of-view of 20.7-deg$^2$ covered by 84 chips of 2k $\times$ 1k CMOS image sensors with 19-$\mu$m pixels. It is capable to take consecutive images at …

New method of eclipse mapping and an application to HT Cas in the 2017 superoutburst

We have developed a new eclipse mapping method with Total Variation Minimization (TVM). TVM uses a concept of sparse modeling, which recovers information from sparse data. TVM sets a summation of difference in the brightness of adjacent elements in a …

Development of a prototype of the Tomo-e Gozen wide-field CMOS camera

The Tomo-e Gozen is an extremely wide-field optical camera for the Kiso 1.0-m Schmidt telescope. It is capable of taking consecutive frames with a field-of-view of 20 deg$^2$ and a sub-second time-resolution, which are achieved by 84 chips of …

Development of a real-time data processing system for a prototype of the Tomo-e Gozen wide field CMOS camera

The Tomo-e Gozen camera is a next-generation, extremely wide field optical camera, equipped with 84 CMOS sensors. The camera records about a 20 square degree area at 2 Hz, providing "astronomical movie data." We have developed a prototype of the …

Sparsely extracting stored movements to construct interfaces for humanoid end-effector control

This paper proposes a robot interface design method by which we can control humanoid end-effector movements with such a low-dimensional input device as a gamepad. In our proposed method, first, the numbers of movement trajectories to accomplish …
