• Abstract summary: We show that a weakly-supervised deep learning algorithm can achieve high accuracy in predicting pixel-level information. The algorithm is trained on weak class-level labels of radio galaxies to get class activation maps (CAMs) We show that the model achieves a mAP$_50$ of 67.5% and 76.8% for radio masks and infrared host positions.

• Abstract: The present work discusses the use of a weakly-supervised deep learning algorithm that reduces the cost of labelling pixel-level masks for complex radio galaxies with multiple components. The algorithm is trained on weak class-level labels of radio galaxies to get class activation maps (CAMs). The CAMs are further refined using an inter-pixel relations network (IRNet) to get instance segmentation masks over radio galaxies and the positions of their infrared hosts. We use data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, specifically the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Pilot Survey, which covered a sky area of 270 square degrees with an RMS sensitivity of 25-35 $\mu$Jy/beam. We demonstrate that weakly-supervised deep learning algorithms can achieve high accuracy in predicting pixel-level information, including masks for the extended radio emission encapsulating all galaxy components and the positions of the infrared host galaxies. We evaluate the performance of our method using mean Average Precision (mAP) across multiple classes at a standard intersection over union (IoU) threshold of 0.5. We show that the model achieves a mAP$_{50}$ of 67.5\% and 76.8\% for radio masks and infrared host positions, respectively.

  We focus on the classification of compact radio sources in the Galactic plane using both radio and infrared images as inputs. To this aim, we produced a curated dataset of 20,000 images of compact sources of different astronomical classes. The implemented tools and trained models were publicly released, and made available to the radioastronomical community for future application.

  Oriented object detection is a practical and challenging task in remote sensing image interpretation. Nowadays, oriented detectors mostly use horizontal boxes as intermedium to derive oriented boxes from them. We propose a novel Anchor-free Oriented Proposal Generator (AOPG) that abandons the horizontal boxes-related operations from the network architecture.

Each head is specially designed to learn the features optimal for the corresponding task, which allows our network to detect objects accurately.
