Interactive sky atlas for astronomical images and datasets
|
aladin:
Interactive sky atlas for astronomical images and datasets
-
-
Aladin is an interactive software sky atlas allowing the user to
visualise digitised astronomical images, to superimpose entries from
astronomical catalogues or databases, and to interactively access
related data and information from the Simbad database, the VizieR
service and other archives for all known sources in the field.
Created in 1999 by the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg
(CDS), Aladin has become a widely-used tool of the Virtual
Observatory (VO) framework capable of addressing challenges such as
locating data of interest, accessing and exploring distributed
datasets, and visualising multi-wavelength data. Compliance with
existing or emerging VO standards, interconnection with other
visualisation or analysis tools, and the ability to easily compare
heterogeneous data are the key topics which allow Aladin to be a
powerful data exploration and integration tool.

ftools-fv:
Tool for viewing and editing FITS format files
- Description
-
Fv provides a graphical user interface to data stored in FITS
(Flexible Image Transport System) files. Local files can be created,
viewed and edited, files on the internet can be opened read-only
through the http and ftp protocols. Through the POWplot program,
FITS data can be visualized in a large variety of styles. An
interface to the SkyView online database allows for searching,
downloading, and plotting of images and object lists for a region of
the sky.

Astronomical image viewer
|
ginga:
Astronomical image viewer
-
-
Ginga is a toolkit designed for building viewers for scientific image
data in Python, visualizing 2D pixel data in numpy arrays.
It can view astronomical data such as contained in files based on the
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file format. It is written and
is maintained by software engineers at the Subaru Telescope, National
Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
The Ginga toolkit centers around an image display object which supports
zooming and panning, color and intensity mapping, a choice of several
automatic cut levels algorithms and canvases for plotting scalable
geometric forms. In addition to this widget, a general purpose
"reference" FITS viewer is provided, based on a plugin framework.
A fairly complete set of standard plugins are provided for features
that is expected from a modern FITS viewer: panning and zooming windows,
star catalog access, cuts, star pick/fwhm, thumbnails, etc.
This package contains the image viewer based on Python 3.

powerful tool for visualizing 3-dimensional data sets
-
-
IFRIT (the Ionization FRont Interactive Tool) has its origins (and
hence name) in a specialized utility designed to visualize ionization
fronts in cosmological numerical simulations. IFRIT, however, has
outgrown its origins and now can visualize general data sets as well.
IFRIT is written in C++ and is based on two state-of-the-art toolkits:
the Visualization ToolKit (VTK) and a GUI toolkit QT.

-
It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and
32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG,
BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports "stacks", a series of images that
share a single window.
It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined
selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density
histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing
functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge
detection and median filtering.
Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional
measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale
calibration is also available.
ImageJ is developed by Wayne Rasband (wayne@codon.nih.gov), is at the
Research Services Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda,
Maryland, USA.

scientific visualization package for 2-D and 3-D data
|
mayavi2:
scientific visualization package for 2-D and 3-D data
-
-
MayaVi2 is a cross-platform tool for 2-D and 3-D scientific data
visualization. Its features include:
- Visualization of scalar, vector and tensor data in 2 and 3 dimensions
- Easy scriptability using Python
- Easy extendability via custom sources, modules, and data filters
- Reading several file formats: VTK (legacy and XML), PLOT3D, etc.
- Saving of visualizations
- Saving rendered visualization in a variety of image formats.
MayaVi2 has been designed with scriptability and extensibility in
mind. While the mayavi2 application is usable by itself, it may be
used as an Envisage plugin which allows it to be embedded in user
applications natively. Alternatively, it may be used as a
visualization engine for any application.
This package also provides TVTK, which wraps VTK objects to provide a
convenient, Pythonic API, while supporting Traits attributes and
NumPy/SciPy arrays. TVTK is implemented mostly in pure Python, except
for a small extension module.

-
Cubeview is a viewer for 3D data store in FITS files, a file format
extensively used among astronomers. It is specialized in displaying
spectro-imaging data but can be used to do basic visualization on any
FITS file containing a 3D array.
Cubeview features a stand-alone graphical user interface which
adheres to the GTK+ look-and-feel. Being written in
Yorick, it is inherently scriptable. A system of hooks allows custom
actions to be repeated automatically when certain events occur.

Gaussian/Moffat fits, PSF fits (inc. FWHM and Strehl). Can work on
single images, sequences of images or data cubes.

Interactive astronomical 1D spectra analysis tool
- Description
-
SpecViz is a tool for visualization and quick-look analysis of
1D astronomical spectra.
SpecViz allows spectra to be easily plotted and examined. It
supports flexible spectral unit conversions, custom plotting
attributes, interactive selections, multiple plots, and other
features.
SpecViz notably includes a measurement tool for spectral lines
which enables the user, with a few mouse actions, to perform
and record measurements. It has a model fitting capability that
enables the user to create simple (e.g., single Gaussian) or
multi-component models (e.g., multiple Gaussians for emission
and absorption lines in addition to regions of flat continua).
A typical data-analysis workflow might involve data exploration
using SpecViz and then scripting to create more complex
measurements or modeling workflows using SpecUtils.
