  • L dwarfs detection from SDSS images using improved Faster R-CNN

    分类: 天文学 >> 天文学 提交时间: 2023-02-19

    摘要: We present a data-driven approach to automatically detect L dwarfs from Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) images using an improved Faster R-CNN framework based on deep learning. The established L dwarf automatic detection (LDAD) model distinguishes L dwarfs from other celestial objects and backgrounds in SDSS field images by learning the features of 387 SDSS images containing L dwarfs. Applying the LDAD model to the SDSS images containing 93 labeled L dwarfs in the test set, we successfully detected 83 known L dwarfs with a recall rate of 89.25% for known L dwarfs. Several techniques are implemented in the LDAD model to improve its detection performance for L dwarfs,including the deep residual network and the feature pyramid network. As a result, the LDAD model outperforms the model of the original Faster R-CNN, whose recall rate of known L dwarfs is 80.65% for the same test set. The LDAD model was applied to detect L dwarfs from a larger validation set including 843 labeled L dwarfs, resulting in a recall rate of 94.42% for known L dwarfs. The newly identified candidates include L dwarfs, late M and T dwarfs, which were estimated from color (i-z) and spectral type relation. The contamination rates for the test candidates and validation candidates are 8.60% and 9.27%, respectively. The detection results indicate that our model is effective to search for L dwarfs from astronomical images.
