The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign received a $244,380 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a deep learning framework for detecting, deblending, and classifying astronomical sources in wide-field survey images. The goal is to create efficient and robust methods to process the unprecedented volume of astronomical data that will be collected over the coming decade, enabling accurate identification of blended sources to support precision cosmology research. As part of this work, the University will adapt state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms, combine real survey data with realistic simulations, and deliver an open-source software platform to enable broader community usage. The award also includes a dedicated STEM outreach program to engage young girls.
