A method of complex background estimation in astronomical images
Adam Popowicz, Bogdan Smolka
In this paper, we present a novel approach to the estimation of strongly varying backgrounds in astronomical images by means of small objects removal and subsequent missing pixels…
On the efficiency of techniques for the reduction of impulsive noise in astronomical images
A. Popowicz, A. R. Kurek, T. Blachowicz +2
The impulsive noise in astronomical images originates from various sources. It develops as a result of thermal generation in pixels, collision of cosmic rays with image sensor or m…

BRITE (BRIght Target Explorer) Constellation, the first nanosatellite mission applied to astrophysical research, is a collaboration among Austria, Canada and Poland. The fleet of s…
A simple multipurpose double-beam optical image analyzer
Adam Popowicz, Tomasz Blachowicz
In the paper we present a low cost optical device which splits the light in the focal plane into two separate optical paths and collimates it back into a single image plane, and wh…
