| Abstract: |
The main objective of this project was to develop a framework that allows the evaluation of calibration, imaging and source-finding techniques in astronomy. We quantify the ability of these techniques based on the recovery of source properties such as flux and astrometry. AIMfast1 enables astronomers to efficiently analyze images and source catalogues by cross-matching source properties, quantifying image statistics and performing interactive visualizations. It is an open-source Python-based package that can be executed from the command line and easily integrates into data workflow environments. All visualization outputs are in SVG or portable HTML formatted files that can load up in any web browser. |
