Dimage
From NYU CCPP Wiki
What is dimage?
dimage is a tool for taking registered, calibrated multi-band and multi-resolution images of galaxies and analyzing them. It determines the point spread function, detects objects, and then deblends each object (or just selected ones) into their component parts.
dimage is written in a combination of IDL and C, with C taking on the lower-level, more computationally intensive tasks. Its components are designed for re-use: we expect most users would actually dig into the code for the purposes of their tasks, and the software is designed to (hopefully) make that easy.
NYU users can check out the current version of dimage in the usual manner:
cvs -d [user]@howdy.physics.nyu.edu:/usr/local/cvsroot co dimage
It depends on idlutils and needs to be built using evilmake.
dimage is still under design. It is being used initially on joint SDSS/GALEX images of nearby galaxies. It is being tested on SDSS sky subtraction test images.
