Descripción
Galaxies exhibit a wide variety of morphologies which are strongly
related to their star formation histories. Having large samples of
morphologically classified galaxies is fundamental to understand their
formation and evolution. Morphological classification of galaxies based
on visual inspection is extremely time consuming: an impossible task
when dealing with the immense number of galaxy images (billions!) that
future Big Data surveys such as LSST or EUCLID will release. Deep
Learning algorithms (DL), which automatically extract high-level
features at the pixel level, have been proven very successful in the
last years for many different image recognition purposes. Here we show
the excellent performance of DL algorithms to reproduce (or even
improve) visual classification of galaxies for SDSS-DR7 images.The main
results of this poster and the morphological catalogue with
classifications for 670,000 SDSS-DR7 galaxies are presented in
Domínguez Sánchez et al. (2018a).
