Astronomical Object Detection is an important field of research that enables astronomers to study the universe more effectively by automating the process of identifying and analyzing objects in large-scale astronomical surveys. The InfiniFlare project is aimed at developing a CNN to detect and classify different types of astronomical objects, such as stars, galaxies, and supernovae.
To run this project, you will need to install the following dependencies:
- Python 3.6+
- PyTorch
- torchvision
- Download the dataset of astronomical images you want to analyze, and place it in the
data
folder. - Update the
root
parameter in theImageFolder
call in the code to point to the folder containing the dataset. - Run the code using the command
python astronomical_object_detection.py
.
