现代望远镜生成的数据集越来越大且多样化,通常包含复杂的形态结构。为了高效探索此类数据,需要能够提取和组织物理意义信息的自动化方法,理想上无需大量手动交互。本文旨在提供一个用户友好的自监督机器学习框架实现,用于探索大规模数据集的形态属性,基于BYOL(Bootstrap Your Own Latents)方法。通过生成有意义的图像嵌入而不依赖手动标注数据,该框架可支持聚类、异常检测和基于相似性的探索。与现有BYOL实现不同,astromorph支持不同维度和分辨率的数据,包括单通道FITS图像和多通道光谱立方体。该软件包以易用性为目标,提供流线型的流程脚本以简化使用,同时通过PyTorch类提供更深入的自定义选项。为了展示astromorph的实用性,我们将其应用于两个代表不同天文领域的科学案例:ALMA观测的原行星盘图像和Spitzer和Herschel观测的红外暗云。在两种情况下,我们展示了astromorph如何生成具有科学意义的嵌入,捕捉大规模样本中的形态差异和相似性。astromorph使用户能够应用一种稳健、无标注的方法来揭示天文数据集中的形态模式。在两个明显不同的数据集上的成功应用表明,该流程在广泛的成像丰富的天文背景下具有广泛的应用性,提供了一个用户友好的工具,推动观测天文学的发展。
英文摘要:
Modern telescopes generate increasingly large and diverse datasets, often consisting of complex and morphologically rich structures. To efficiently explore such data requires automated methods that can extract and organize physically meaningful information, ideally without the need for extensive manual interaction. We aim to provide a user-friendly implementation of a self-supervised machine learning framework to explore morphological properties of large datasets, based on the BYOL (Bootstrap Your Own Latents) method. By enabling the generation of meaningful image embeddings without manually labelled data, the framework will enable key tasks such as clustering, anomaly detection, and similarity based exploration. In contrast to existing BYOL implementations, astromorph accommodates data of varying dimensions and resolutions, including both single-channel FITS images and multi-channel spectral cubes. The package is built with usability in mind, offering streamlined pipeline scripts for ease of use as well as deeper customization options via PyTorch-based classes. To demonstrate the utility of astromorph, we apply it in two contrasting science cases representing different astronomical domains: images of protoplanetary disks observed with ALMA, and infrared dark clouds observed with Spitzer and Herschel. In both cases, we demonstrate how astromorph produces scientifically meaningful embeddings that capture morphological differences and similarities across large samples. astromorph enables users to apply a robust, label-free approach for uncovering morphological patterns in astronomical datasets. The successful application to two markedly different datasets suggest that the pipeline is broadly applicable across a wide range of imaging-rich astronomical context, providing a user friendly tool for advancing discovery in observational astronomy.
