Debian Astro Viewers packages

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.

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.

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.

ParaView ist eine quelloffene, Multi-Plattform-Anwendung, konzipiert um Datensätze unterschiedlichster Größe zu visualisieren. Die Ziele des ParaView-Projekts:

* Entwickle eine quelloffene, Multi-Plattform-Visualisierungsanwendung.
* Unterstütze verteilt berechnete Modelle, um große Datensätze zu
  verarbeiten.
* Erstelle eine offene, flexible und intuitive Benutzerschnittstelle.
* Entwickele eine erweiterbare Architektur, basierend auf offenen
  Standards.

ParaView läuft auf verteiltem (distributed) und geteiltem (shared) Speicher parallel ebenso wie auf Einzelprozessorsystemen und wurde erfolgreich unter Windows, MacOS X, Linux und verschiedenen Unix-Arbeitsstationen, Rechner-Clustern und Supercomputern getestet. Unter der Haube gesehen verwendet ParaView das Visualization Toolkit als Datenverarbeitungs- und Render-Maschine, und hat eine in Qt programmierte Benutzerschnittstelle.

SAOImage DS9 ist ein Programm für astronomische Bildgebung und Daten- Visualisierung. DS9 unterstützt FITS-Bilder und binäre Tabellen, mehrere Videospeicher (Frame Buffer), Manipulation von Regionen sowie viele Skalierungs-Algorithmen und Farbtabellen. Es ermöglicht eine einfache Kommunikation mit externen Analyse-Tasks und ist via XPA und SAMP in hohem Maße konfigurierbar und erweiterbar.

Alle Versionen und Plattformen unterstützen einen einheitlichen Satz von GUI- und Funktionsfähigkeit.

DS9 unterstützt erweiterte Funktionen: wie 2D-, 3D- und RGB-Framebuffer, Mosaikbilder, Fliesen, Blinken, geometrische Marker, Manipulation von Farbtabellen, Skalierung, stufenloses Zoomen, Zuschneiden, Drehen, Schwenken und eine Vielzahl von Koordinatensystemen.

Die GUI für DS9 ist vom Benutzer konfigurierbar. GUI-Elemente wie die Koordinatenanzeige, Panner, Lupe, horizontale und vertikale Grafiken, Button-Leiste und Farbleiste können über Menüs oder die Befehlszeile konfiguriert werden.

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.
