denoise

Command-line tool to remove shot noise from astronomical images and cubes.

Install

brew tap danieljprice/all
brew install denoise

Usage

denoise image.fits [out.fits]

Advanced usage

Type denoise with no arguments to see the command line options:

denoise: a SPLASH imaging utility (c) 2020 Daniel Price

Usage: denoise [options] infile.fits [outfile.fits]

Options:  --imax=3.4e-2     [intensity value above which no smoothing is applied]
          --beam=1.0        [beam size in pixels at max intensity]
          --its=4           [maximum number of smoothing length iterations]
          --use3D=1         [denoise in 3D for spectral cubes]
          --start=1         [denoise from channel 1 onwards]
          --end=10          [denoise only up to channel 10]

The main one is the --beam argument which sets the minimum beam size (in number of pixels). The default is beam=1.0 which gives no smoothing of the image at the maximum intensity.

Status

build

Installing from source

To compile denoise from source you will need a Fortran compiler (gfortran) and the cfitsio library. Then compile denoise as follows:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/danieljprice/denoise
export SYSTEM=gfortran
make
make install

If you need to specify the path to the cfitsio library, either set LD_LIBRARY_FLAGS, or the FITS_DIR environment variable to the location where the file libcfitsio.so can be found, e.g.

make FITS_DIR=$HOME/lib

About this repo

Denoise is officially part of splash (https://github.com/danieljprice/splash). This repository is a standalone version of denoise that is updated with each stable release of splash that affects the relevant source files. Pull requests to this repo will also be incorporated back into the main splash source code.

Updating the enclosed copy of splash source files to the latest

To update the included `submodule' of the splash source code in the denoise repository, use:

git submodule update --remote
