Fourier dimensionality reduction for fast radio transients

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Vijay Kartik, Ming Jiang

In the context of next-generation radio interferometers, we are facing a big challenge of how to economically process data. The classical dimensionality reduction technique, averaging visibilities on time, may dilute fast radio transients (FRT). We propose ...

Fourier dimensionality reduction of radio-interferometric data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Vijay Kartik

Next-generation radio-interferometers face a computing challenge with respect to the imaging techniques that can be applied in the big data setting in which they are designed. Dimensionality reduction can thus provide essential savings of computing resourc ...

A scalable algorithm for radio-interferometric imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Vijay Kartik

In recent works, sparse models and convex optimization techniques have been applied to radio-interferometric (RI) imaging showing the potential to outperform state-of-the-art imaging algorithms in the field. In this paper, we propose a scalable algorithm f ...
