huntsman-image-stream

Produce a python iterator of synthetic images.

ImageStream()

Is a python generator class that does the following:

• produce a fake noiseless image for a specific setup: Canon lens + ZWO ASI183 Pro Camera.
• produces a noisey image based upon given exposure time
• inject bright sources of light

It will eventually:

• start sending data no faster than the specified rate from: FPS, n_cameras, exptime
• record processing speed (e.g. processing at X FPS)
• randomly dim stars to mimic a occultation

Requirements

A few python modules, including a custom astronomy sensitivity suite gunagala.

To install, just run pip in source directory:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can test it out by going to the source directory and running these:

python image_util.py absolute_path_to_gunagala_configuration_file
python generate_images.py absolute_path_to_gunagala_configuration_file

How to run it

Two ways:

from generate_images import ImageStream
i = ImageStream(gunagala_config_filename=absolute_path_to_gunagala_configuration_file)
next(i)
next(i)

or:

from generate_images import ImageStream
for i in ImageStream(gunagala_config_filename=absolute_path_to_gunagala_configuration_file):
   print(i)
