Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Photos of extended objects are crucial for astronomers, as they contain enough detailed information about the celestial bodies that it is quite difficult to extract visually. Most of the information available for analyzing these objects begins with studying them with telescopes or satellites. Unfortunately, the quality of astronomical images is usually very poor compared to other real images, and this is due to the technical and physical features associated with the process of obtaining them. This increases the percentage of noise and makes it more difficult to directly use standard methods on the original image. Images taken from a satellite or telescope are almost always grayscale, but still contain some color information. However, an astronomical image can be obtained through a color filter. Different photodetectors also usually have different sensitivity to different colors (wavelengths). In our paper, we will present a method for processing astronomical images, using histogram processing, which can be successfully used to improve images, and post-processing.
