A mysterious new interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, was discovered in July. It turns out that wasn't the first time our ...

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps in May successfully tested a prototype tool that uses imagery data ...

Astronomers are excited about the first test images released today from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which show the ...

In efforts to automatically capture important data from scientific papers, computer scientists have developed a method that can accurately detect small, geometric objects such as triangles within ...

The Rubin Observatory's enormous datasets call for cloud computing, seven different "brokers" and, indeed, a butler of sorts.

PhoSim simulates the atmosphere, including air turbulence, as well as distortions from the shape of the telescope’s mirrors and the electrical properties of the sensors. The photons are propagated ...

Researchers have developed a new high-speed way to detect the location, size and category of multiple objects without acquiring images or requiring complex scene reconstruction. Because the new ...

These are the first public images collected by the Chile-based observatory, which will begin a decade-long survey of the southern sky later this year.

In tests, the researchers’ model outperformed the baseline by inserting realistically shaped objects. When an image recognizer — YOLOv3 — was applied to images produced by the AI, it was ...
