### Galaxy Segmentor
A minimalist `gradio` interface for a UNet model trained to segment galaxy images into probability masks highlighting spiral arms and galaxy bars.
This is the same model used in [my paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.02380) "A morphological segmentation approach to determining bar lengths", albeit converted from the original TensorFlow to ONNX.
The model was trained using data from the citizen science project [Galaxy Zoo 3D](https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/klmasters/galaxy-zoo-3d/about/results).
