I am thrilled that you shared this work George! Such an interesting synthesis of computing techniques!

This is another awesome contribution in a series of others (e.g. Transfer an artistic style to an image, or [WSS16] Image Colorization, etc.) using neural networks! Thanks for sharing! I would so much like to understand what you people are doing - is there any chance?

I mean is there some good and condensed material to learn just as much as needed to use those NN-Mathematica tools, and to avoid using them absolutely brainlessly without knowing what's going on?

Best regards -- Henrik

Thank you for this post George. This looks like a fun project and I am eager to try it out with different images as you suggest.

I can use your code and train the network lenetTrained, but I have trouble calculating selectedAsc. Could you please explain what is necessary to calculate selectedAsc without importing skyAsc.m.gz ?

Many thanks in advance!

Hey Radek,

That sounds awesome indeed, looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Please see below and the attached files for the information you asked for and let me know if I can be of any more help.

I've attached a hierarchical dataset representation, here's how it looks like: enter image description here

and a more detailed look for one of them: enter image description here

Note how they are grouped in lines (joining them in this order should give you the constellation shape).

Excited for this!
George

What a great idea! I hope @George Varnavides gives you the info you need. I am curious, @Radek Pior, what type of planetarium you own? Perhaps you can give more details on equipment, size, maybe some images?... I sometimes visit Poland, it would be great to visit and see the Yoga Constellations on display!

WOW - really impressive. It would be good to implement it in the real planetarium. I am owner of the planetarium in Poland and can implement it into planetarium software. I need some more information. May I ask for:

  1. Names of yoga poses you presented.
  2. Numbers of the stars of new constallations as Hipparchos number of the star (or equivalent)

I will implement it into Stellarium sky culture and share it here.

Regards,

RKP
