Project : Sparse Representation of Multivalued Images: Application in Astrophysics (SparseAstro)

The goals of this project were:

    • Develop tools for analyzing multi-valued astronomical data using sparsity.
    • Create software packages which include these tools.
    • Use these tools in the framework of different astronomical international projects (PLANCK, FERMI, EUCLID).
