Features in brief

  • Basic information about the images or other FITS data, pixel statisitics.
  • Conversion of FITS images to more easily presentable formats.
  • Querying and modification of FITS header keywords.
  • Calibration of raw images, including the masking of bad, saturated or otherwise unuseable pixels.
  • Arithmetic operations on images, both on per-image and per-pixel basis.
  • Combination of multiple images into a single one.
  • Generic spatial geometric transformations of images (shifting, dilating, shrinking, clipping, higher order polynomial transformations, ...), including the registration of images to the same reference frame.
  • Generation of artificial images.
  • Detection and characterization of stellar profiles.
  • Coordinate list manipulation (fit and evaluation of geometric transformations, point matching, pair matching, matching by identifiers, ...)
  • Photometry (aperture, image subtraction, analytic profile modelling, PSF and various other sophisticated combinations of these).
  • Regression analysis and general numeric data manipulation.
  • Tasks are optimized for shell-level parallel processing.
