auromat.debug module

Some methods for easy debugging of parameters on the shell.

auromat.debug.debugHorizon(imagePath, fitsWcsPath, tleFolder, photoTimeDelta=None, altitude=110)

Visualizes the horizon of the modelled earth and inflated earth (=aurora) for the given parameters.

Parameters:photoTimeDelta (datetime.timedelta) – amount to shift the image time (affects calculated camera position and therefore the geodetic coordinates)

auromat.debug.debugPlot(imagePath, fitsWcsPath, tleFolder, photoTimeDelta=None, altitude=0, minElevation=10)

Plot the georeferenced image on a map. This allows to play with the image timestamp and mapping altitude.

Parameters:

• imagePath –
• fitsWcsPath –
• tleFolder –
• photoTimeDelta (datetime.timedelta) – amount to shift the image time (affects calculated camera position and therefore the geodetic coordinates)
• altitude – in km
• minElevation – in degrees

auromat.debug.maskAllInFolder(folderPath, outputFolderPath, ext='jpg', maskFn=<function maskStarfield at 0x865ef50>, preserveExif=True)

Masks the starfield of all images in folderPath and stores the masked images in outputFolderPath.

Parameters:

• ext (str) – image extension
• maskFn (function) – the masking function to use, by default the standard algorithm from auromat.solving.masking
• preserveExif (bool) – whether to copy EXIF data (exiftool must be installed)
