Problem the AI is intended to solve

This machine learning-driven project aims to expedite the image calibration process for Roman Wide Field Instrument (WFI) data by developing an automated calibration system. Leveraging advanced AI algorithms, we aim to increase the speed and efficiency of image calibration, particularly for large-scale astronomical surveys and observations.

Expected benefits

Faster calibration processes across all detector outputs Streamlined calibration workflows enable faster processing times, accelerating scientific discoveries.

System outputs

Trained machine learning models capable of applying flat-field and linearity corrections to WFI images. Automatically calibrated images ready for further analysis. Adaptive calibration parameters tailored to specific observing conditions and instrument characteristics.
