Computer Vision

Roberto Muñoz

Interdisciplinary field: Math, AI, Image process Computers gain high-level understanding Automatic detection, segmentation and classification

Training datasets Galaxy Zoo: SDSS, Hubble ACS and WFC3>1 million galaxies Visual classificationLarge but shallow NGVS and NGFS>10 thousands galaxies Small but deep NGFS survey
