Abstract
Accurate fitting of the noisy irregular
amplitude only main beam data is essential
for the retrieval of the Planck space telescope
geometry [1]. Therefore, a novel two-step fitting
algorithm which focuses on the spatial
dependency of the in-flight measurements has
been implemented. To reduce both the noise
and the size of the dataset a spatial filter is
applied, without reducing the amount of pattern
information. Thereafter, a Kriging [2], [3]
fitting is performed, providing a smooth model
with a significant noise level reduction. As a
result, this algorithm provides a much more
accurate and smoother result, reasonable error
estimates and runtimes several orders of magnitudes
faster than the previous algorithms.
