随着小行星光谱和测光数据不断增加,以此为基础已有多种分类方法对小行星进行分类.使用随机森林算法对Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS)Moving Object Catalogue(MOC)的观测结果进行小行星分类.根据小行星g、r、i、z4个波段的星等,结合Tholen、Bus、Lazzaro、DeMeo等人已有的分类工作和主成分分析,对多达48642颗的小行星进行了分类,实现了大数据集的小行星类别判定,把这些小行星分为8个类别(C、X、S、B、D、K、L和V).
With the increasing asteroid spectral and photometric data, a variety of classification methods for asteroids have been proposed. This paper classifies asteroids based on the observations of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Moving Object Catalogue (MOC) by using the random forest algorithm. With the training data derived from the taxonomies of Tholen, Bus, Lazzaro, DeMeo, and Principal Component Analysis, we classify 48642 asteroids according to g, r, i, and z SDSS magnitudes. In this way, asteroids are divided into 8 spectral classes (C, X, S, B, D, K, L, and V).
