adapt (esas-0.10.5) [xmmsas_20190531_1155-18.0.0]


Algorithm

adapt adaptively smooths background subtracted and exposure corrected images. For each unmasked pixel, the program will average neighboring pixels within a circle of increasing radius until a selected number of counts is reached. The original pixel is then given the average surface brightness for the pixels within the circle. Pixel binning can also be selected.
