HIRAS: High-Resolution IRAS Images

High-Resolution IRAS Maps Parallelised

The strip-scanned data obtained by the IRAS satellite are being used to produce maps of the infra red emission from large areas of the sky. The resolution is enhanced to nearly the telescope diffraction limit using Maximum Entropy Processing. The memory and processing requirements of this algorithm necessitate the use of parallel computers for large fields. We describe a number of techniques us...

The High-resolution Iras Galaxy Atlas

An atlas of the Galactic plane along with the molecular clouds in Orion, o Oph, ([4¡.7 \ b \ 4¡.7), and Taurus-Auriga, has been produced at 60 and 100 km from IRAS data. The atlas consists of resolution-enhanced co-added images with 1@È2@ resolution and co-added images at the native IRAS resolution. The IRAS Galaxy Atlas, together with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory H I line/21 cm...

Classification of Ultra-high Resolution Images using Soft Computing

The main objective of this paper is to use a computational intelligence algorithm for preparing a mapping map that categorizes different patterns of identification of infected areas and changes in radiation pollution. In this paper, the use of the fuzzy inference system has been proposed to determine the degree of radiation contamination in the regions. The study uses ultra-high resolution spec...

Parallelization and Algorithmic Enhancements of High Resolution Iras Image Construction

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite carried out a nearly complete survey of the infrared sky, and the survey data are important for the study of many astrophysical phenomena. However, many data sets at other wavelengths have higher resolutions than that of the co-added IRAS maps, and high resolution IRAS images are strongly desired both for their own information content and their usefulness in ...
