SpArcFiRe: Enhancing Spiral Galaxy Recognition Using Arm Analysis and Random Forests
Automated quantification of galaxy morphology is necessary because the size of upcoming sky surveys will overwhelm human volunteers. Existing classification schemes are inadequate because (a) their uncertainty increases near the boundary of classes and astronomers need more control over these uncert...
