[ascl:1206.014] ImageHealth: Quality Assurance for Large FITS Images
Kuehn, Kyler; Hupe, Ryan
ImageHealth (IH) is a c program that makes use of standard CFITSIO (ascl:1010.001) routines to examine, in an automated fashion, .FITS images with any number of extensions, find objects within those images, and determine basic parameters of those images (stellar flux, background counts, FWHM, and ellipticity, along with sky background counts) in order to provide a snapshot of the quality of those images. A variety of python wrappers have also been written to test large numbers of such images and compare the results of ImageHealth to other image analysis programs, such as Source Extractor (ascl:1010.064). Additional IH-related tools will be made available in the future.
