Segmenting Superbubbles in a Simulated Multiphase Interstellar Medium using Computer Vision
We developed a computer vision-based methodology to achieve precise 3D segmentation and tracking of superbubbles within magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the supernova-driven interstellar medium. Leveraging advanced 3D transformer models, our approach effectively captures the complex morphology and dynamic evolution of these astrophysical structures. To demonstrate the technique, we specifically focused on a superbubble exhibiting interesting interactions with its surrounding medium, driven by a series of successive supernova explosions. Our model successfully generated detailed 3D segmentation masks, enabling us to visualize and analyze the bubble's structural evolution over time. The r...
