• Abstract summary: Radio astronomy facilities like LOFAR, MeerKAT/SKA, ASKAP/SKA, and the future SKA-LOW bring tremendous sensitivity in time and frequency. These facilities enable advanced studies of radio transients, volatile by nature, that can be detected or missed in the data. These transients are markers of high-energy accelerations of electrons and manifest in a wide range of temporal scales.

• Abstract: Radio astronomy is currently thriving with new large ground-based radio telescopes coming online in preparation for the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Facilities like LOFAR, MeerKAT/SKA, ASKAP/SKA, and the future SKA-LOW bring tremendous sensitivity in time and frequency, improved angular resolution, and also high-rate data streams that need to be processed. They enable advanced studies of radio transients, volatile by nature, that can be detected or missed in the data. These transients are markers of high-energy accelerations of electrons and manifest in a wide range of temporal scales. Usually studied with dynamic spectroscopy of time series analysis, there is a motivation to search for such sources in large interferometric datasets. This requires efficient and robust signal reconstruction algorithms. To correctly account for the temporal dependency of the data, we improve the classical image deconvolution inverse problem by adding the temporal dependency in the reconstruction problem. Then, we introduce two novel neural network architectures that can do both spatial and temporal modeling of the data and the instrumental response. Then, we simulate representative time-dependent image cubes of point source distributions and realistic telescope pointings of MeerKAT to generate toy models to build the training, validation, and test datasets. Finally, based on the test data, we evaluate the source profile reconstruction performance of the proposed methods and classical image deconvolution algorithm CLEAN applied frame-by-frame. In the presence of increasing noise level in data frame, the proposed methods display a high level of robustness compared to frame-by-frame imaging with CLEAN. The deconvolved image cubes bring a factor of 3 improvement in fidelity of the recovered temporal profiles and a factor of 2 improvement in background denoising.

  We introduce KFD-NeRF, a novel dynamic neural radiance field integrated with an efficient and high-quality motion reconstruction framework based on Kalman filtering. Our key idea is to model the dynamic radiance field as a dynamic system whose temporally varying states are estimated based on two sources of knowledge: observations and predictions. Our KFD-NeRF demonstrates similar or even superior performance within comparable computational time and state-of-the-art view synthesis performance with thorough training.

For each data sample within this region, we generate heatmap tensors in range, azimuth, and elevation of the output power of a beamformer. In an airborne scenario, the moving radar creates a sequence of these time-indexed image stacks, resembling a video.
