We develop a new analysis approach towards identifying related radio components and their corresponding infrared host galaxy based on unsupervised machine learning methods. By exploiting PINK, a self-organising map algorithm, we are able to associate radio and infrared sources without the a priori requirement of training labels. We present an example of this method using $894,415$ images from the FIRST and WISE surveys centred towards positions described by the FIRST catalogue. We produce a set of catalogues that complement FIRST and describe 802,646 objects, including their radio components and their corresponding AllWISE infrared host galaxy. Using these data products we (i) demonstrate the ability to identify objects with rare and unique radio morphologies (e.g. 'X'-shaped galaxies, hybrid FR-I/FR-II morphologies), (ii) can identify the potentially resolved radio components that are associated with a single infrared host and (iii) introduce a "curliness" statistic to search for bent and disturbed radio morphologies, and (iv) extract a set of 17 giant radio galaxies between 700-1100 kpc. As we require no training labels, our method can be applied to any radio-continuum survey, provided a sufficiently representative SOM can be trained.
为校准平方公里阵列观测数据而生成的天空模型需要一种快速的自动点源检测和表征方法。近年来,二维图像中的点源检测已经通过使用几种阈值方法来实现。在SKA的第一阶段,我们需要一个能够处理超大图像(80,000 x 80,000像素)的快速实现。虽然底层算法随着图像大小适当地缩放,但是本实施方式不这样。我们提出了一些意见的相关权衡缩放这些实现SKA级别。
