Abstract: Effective image post-processing algorithms are vital for the successful direct imaging of exoplanets. Standard PSF subtraction methods use techniques based on a low-rank approximation to separate the rotating planet signal from the quasi-static speckles, and rely on signal-to-noise ratio maps to detect the planet.

Abstract: A fast and exact algorithm is developed for the spin \(\pm2\) spherical harmonics transforms on equi-angular pixelizations on the sphere. It is based on the Driscoll and Healy fast scalar spherical harmonics transform.

Abstract: A fast algorithm is developed for the directional correlation of scalar band-limited signals and band-limited steerable filters on the sphere. The asymptotic complexity associated to it through simple quadrature is of order \(O(L^5)\), where \(2L\) stands for the square-root of the number of sampling points on the sphere, also setting a band limit L for the signals and filters considered.
