Abstract
In this paper the authors presented a sophisticated data mining pipeline, which was designed for restoring the high-quality images from the blurred frames made by the Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) cameras. The developed data mining pipeline leverages the modern informational technologies for the horizontal and vertical scalability. The core methodology integrates the following mathematical methods and algorithms: an inverse median filtration method for the noise reduction and the Lucy-Richardson algorithm for deblurring. The inverse median filtration effectively reduces impulsive noise while preserving edges, and the Lucy-Richardson algorithm iteratively refines the image by correcting for blurring effects encoded in the point spread function (PSF). The proposed system's architecture of the processing pipeline for automated data mining of the single astronomical objects from blurred CCD frames utilizes the following modern technologies: Python programming language, Redis, FastAPI, React, Docker, and Caddy to ensure high performance, scalability, and ease of deployment. This integrated approach significantly enhances the accuracy of astronomical observations, facilitating more precise studies of celestial objects. The proposed pipeline addresses the unique challenges of astronomical image processing, offering a robust solution for automated data mining of single astronomical objects. Our work demonstrates the potential to advance astronomical research by improving image clarity and reliability, contributing to various fields within astronomy. The combination of effective noise reduction and deblurring techniques, along with a scalable and high-performance system architecture, provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges faced in processing astronomical images.
