A fast empirical method for galaxy shape measurements in weak lensing
  surveys
  We describe a simple and fast method to correct ellipticity measurements of
galaxies from the distortion by the instrumental and atmospheric point spread
function (PSF), in view of weak lensing shear measurements. The method performs
a classification of galaxies and associated PSFs according to measured shape
parameters, and corrects the measured galaxy ellipticites by querying a large
lookup table (LUT), built by supervised learning. We have applied this new
method to the GREAT10 image analysis challenge, and present in this paper a
refined solution that obtains the competitive quality factor of Q = 104,
without any shear power spectrum denoising or training. Of particular interest
is the efficiency of the method, with a processing time below 3 ms per galaxy
on an ordinary CPU.
