LISC

Low Intensity Sensor Calibration software package.

This program calibrates raw images from a specific camera at a given ISO, focal lenght and focus. To do so, calibration files must be produced.

The details of this program's inner workings are described in Simoneau et al. (2021).

Usage

The program provides a CLI through the lisc command and a python module of the same name.

Documentation for the modules is available using

lisc 'module_name' --help

The standard order of operations to produce calibration files is as follows:

lisc dir
lisc init
lisc geo
lisc lin
lisc flat
lisc photo
lisc save

Once that process is done, images can be calibrated from anywhere on the system using lisc calib.

This research makes use of the code described in van Dokkum (2001) as implemented by McCully (2014) for cosmic rays removal.
