Image Pixel Based Photometric Redshift Estimation

by Alankar Kotwal for Laboratory for Cosmological Data Mining

Current techniques for photometric redshift estimation rely upon reduced integrated information from images. The information that is wasted on a pixel level can be made use of in order to get a better estimate. The performance of this technique can then be checked on different hardware like GPUs and against the machine learning algorithm used.
