Object Reconstruction with Generative Adversarial Networks from InterferometriC data You can find the associated paper here

The goal of this image reconstruction algorithm is to use an astropbysical Bayeisan prior to reconstruct an image from optical (infrared and visible) interferometric data. Neural networks can learn the main characteristics of the image from the models and guide the image reconstruction to a similar images. The data itself can induce more complex features if they are needed to reproduce the data.

To install Organic you should type this in your terminal:

conda create -n organic python=3.9
conda activate organic
pip install organicoi

It is strongly advised to also install postOrganic to analyse the outputs from Organic. You can find it here

To perform image reconstruction you can use the example file ImgRecExample.py file in the examples folder. The steps are summarised below:

1. Loading the Neural Network Set the paths and name of the neural network discriminator (dis) and generator (gen). There is a pretrained network for disks as seen in the near-infrared (in the theGANextended2/saved_models folder). Load the Neural Network:

thegan = org.GAN(dis=dis, gen=gen, Adam_lr=0.0001, Adam_beta_1=0.91, amsgrad=True)

Adam_lr is the learning rate. Adam_beta_1 is the exponential decay of the first moment estimates. amsgrad is whether to apply AMSGrad variant of Adam. More informatino on the Adam optimizer can be found here

2. Set the SPARCO parameters SPARCO is an approach allowing to model the star(s) as a geometrical model and image the environment only. This improves the image of the stellar environment and takes into account the spectral index difference between the stars and the environment.

sparco = org.sparco(fstar=0.61, fstar=0.6, dstar=-4.0, denv=0.0, UDstar=0.01, fsec=0.0,
                        dsec=-4, xsec = 0.0, ysec = 0.0, wave0=1.65e-6,)

with: fstar being the stellar-to-total flux ratio at wave0 dstar being the spectral index of the secondary (if the star is assumed to be Rayleigh-Jeans then lambda^-4^ and dstar should be set to -4) denv being the spectral index of the environment UDstar uniform disk diameter of the primary (in mas) fsec is the secondary-to-total flux ratio dsec is the secondary star spectral index xsec is the ra position of the secondary relative to the primary (in mas) ysec is the dec position of the secondary relative to the primary (in mas)

For more information about SPARCO read this paper (original paper) or this one (application to a circumbinary disk).

The SPARCO parameters can be obtained either by making a grid on them with an image reconstructio algorithm like ORGANIC or using geometrical model fitting like PMOIRED.

3. Perform the image reconstruction

thegan.ImageReconstruction(datafiles, sparco, data_dir=data_dir, mu=1, ps=0.6, diagnostics=False, epochs=50, nrestar=50, name='output1', boot=False, nboot=100, )

with: datafiles being the name of the file or files, like *.fits for example will select all the files ending with.fits in the data_dir data_dir is the path to the data files sparco is the sparco object defined in point 2. mu is the hyperparameter giving more or less weight to the Bayesian prior term (usually 1 works well) ps pixels size in the image (in mas) diagnostics if True will plot image and convergence criterium for each restart epochs number of optimizing steps for a givern restart nrestart number of restarts. starting from a different point in the latent space. name the name of the output directory that is created boot if True it will perform a bootstrapping loop where the data will be altered by randomnly drawing new datasets from existant measurements. nboot number of new datasets to be drawn.

4. Perform a grid on image recosntruction parameters.

ORGANIC is optimized for easy parameter exploration throught grid. It is simple: just make a list of values of any given parameter in thegan.ImageReconstruction or sparco. It will automatically make image reconstructions corresponding to each parameter combination. It will create folders for each combination of parameters with the value of the parameters in the name of the folder.

To train a neural network you need to generate many (~1000) images. Then you can ues them to train the neural network. You need to put them in a fits format as cube of images the third dimenstion being the number of images. Then you can train your neural network such as indicated in the files TrainGanExample.py

1. Initialise the GAN

First you need to initialise an empty GAN:

mygan = org.GAN()

2. Load your images

The images should be 128 by 128 pixels (unless you change the shape of the neural network internally...). ORGANIC will take care of augmenting your data with random rotations, shifts and rescaling. You can load a cube of images using this command:

imgs = org.inputImages(dir, file, width_shift_range=0, height_shift_range=0,zoom_range=[0.8,1.3],)

where: dir is the directory with the image cube file is the name of the fits file with the image cube width_shift_range will shift your image in the horizontal axis by this number of pixels height_shift_range will shift your image in the vertical axis by this number of pixels zoom_range=[1.8,2.3] will apply a random zoom factor in this ranges (e.g., smaller than 1 makes your image smaller)
