## Model Description
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
**FRTSearch** is an end-to-end deep learning framework for detecting and characterizing Fast Radio Transients (FRTs), including:
|
| 43 |
+
- **Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)**
|
| 44 |
+
- **Pulsars**
|
| 45 |
+
- **Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs)**
|
| 46 |
+
|
| 47 |
+
### Architecture
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
- **Backbone**: HRNet-W32 (High-Resolution Network)
|
| 50 |
+
- **Detection Head**: Mask R-CNN
|
| 51 |
+
- **Training Epoch**: 36
|
| 52 |
+
- **Input Dimensions**: 256 (frequency channels) × 8192 (time samples)
|
| 53 |
+
- **Model Size**: 381.75 MB
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
### Key Innovation
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
FRTSearch reframes FRT detection as a **pattern recognition problem** by exploiting the morphological universality of dispersive trajectories in time-frequency dynamic spectra ($t \propto \nu^{-2}$).
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
The model combines:
|
| 60 |
+
1. **Mask R-CNN Detection**: Deep learning model trained on pixel-level annotated data for precise trajectory segmentation
|
| 61 |
+
2. **IMPIC Algorithm**: Physics-driven Iterative Mask-based Parameter Inference and Calibration for direct DM (Dispersion Measure) and ToA (Time of Arrival) inference
|
| 62 |

+
## Training Data
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
**CRAFTS-FRT Dataset**: The first pixel-level annotated dataset for Fast Radio Transients
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
| Property | Value |
|
| 70 |
+

|
| 71 |
+
| **Total Instances** | 2,392 |
|
| 72 |
+
| **Pulsars** | 2,115 |
|
| 73 |
+
| **RRATs** | 15 |
|
| 74 |
+
| **FRBs** | 262 |
|
| 75 |
+
| **Source Telescope** | FAST 19-beam L-band receiver |
|
| 76 |
+
| **Frequency Range** | 1000-1500 MHz |
|
| 77 |
+
| **Dataset DOI** | [10.57760/sciencedb.Fastro.00038](https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.Fastro.00038) |
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
The wide training range enables FRTSearch to handle both **drift scan short-term observations** and **tracking long-term observation data** processing.

## Hyperparameter Tuning
|
| 207 |
+
|
| 208 |
+
### Model Input Constraint
|
| 209 |
+
|
| 210 |
+
The model is trained on input dimensions of **256 (freq) × 8192 (time)**. This wide training range enables FRTSearch to handle both drift scan short-term observations and tracking long-term observation data processing.
|
| 211 |
+
|
| 212 |
+
### Tuning Guidelines
|
| 213 |
+
|
| 214 |
+
**Key Parameters:**
|
| 215 |
+
- `freq_range`: **CRITICAL** - Must match your observation frequency range
|
| 216 |
+
- `downsample_time`: Time downsampling factor
|
| 217 |
+
- `downsample_freq`: Frequency downsampling factor
|
| 218 |
+
- `--slide-size`: Batch size for processing long observations
|
| 219 |
+
|
| 220 |
+
**Critical Rules:**
|
| 221 |
+
1. Time dimension after downsampling must be ≤ 8192
|
| 222 |
+
2. Frequency dimension should target ≈ 256 bins (can be higher, avoid very low values)
|
| 223 |
+
3. Always update `freq_range` to match your data
|
| 224 |
+
|
| 225 |
+
See [test_sample/README.md](test_sample/README.md) for telescope-specific tuning strategies.
