| contents | In direct imaging at high contrast, the bright glare produced by the host star makes the detection and the characterization of sub-stellar companions particularly challenging. In spite of the use of an extreme adaptive optics system combined with a coronagraphic mask to strongly attenuate the starlight contamination, dedicated post-processing methods combining several images recorded with the pupil tracking mode of the telescope are needed to reach the required contrast. In that context, we recently proposed to combine the statistics-based model of PACO with a deep learning approach in a three-step algorithm. First, the data are centered and whitened locally using the PACO framework to improve the stationarity and the contrast in a preprocessing step. Second, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained in a supervised fashion to detect the signature of synthetic sources in the preprocessed science data. Finally, the trained network is applied to the preprocessed observations and delivers a detection map. A second network is trained to infer locally the photometry of detected sources. Both deep models are trained from scratch with a custom data augmentation strategy allowing to generate a large training set from a single spatio-temporo-spectral dataset. This strategy can be applied to process jointly the images of observations conducted with angular, and eventually spectral, differential imaging (A(S)DI). In this proceeding, we present in a unified framework the key ingredients of the deep PACO algorithm both for ADI and ASDI. We apply our method on several datasets from the the IRDIS imager of the VLT/SPHERE instrument. Our method reaches, in average, a better trade-off between precision and recall than the comparative algorithms. |
