(Astronomical) Image Registration¶
TL;DR version
Use chi2_shift
to match images.
A toolkit for registering images of astronomical images containing primarily extended flux (e.g., nebulae, radio and millimeter maps). [*]
There are related packages scattered throughout the internet that do the same thing, but with different features.
The general goal is to align images that look kind of like these:
Module APIs:¶
fft_tools Package (and a description of the Fourier Image Manipulation Tools)
The most successful of the methods implemented here is
chi2_shift
There is an ipython notebook demonstration of the code here and in pdf here

[*] | Apparently astronomical images look a lot like microscopic images. So maybe this code is good for coaligning bacteria! |
