add_streak

acstools.utils_findsat_mrt.add_streak(image, width, value, rho=None, theta=None, endpoints=None, psf_sigma=None)

Generates a (optionally) PSF-convolved model trail and add it to an image.

Parameters:

imagendarray: The input image onto which the trail should be added.
widthfloat: Width of the trail. Note that as of now this function does not super- sample the image in order to precisely model the trail width.
valuefloat: Uniform intensity within the trail prior to convolving with a PSF.
rhofloat or None, optional: Trail offset from center. The default is None.
thetafloat or None, optional: Trail angle in degrees with respect to x-axis. The default is None.
endpointsarray of tuples or None, optional: Endpoints of the trail. Format is [(x0, y0), (x1, y1)]. The default is None.
psf_sigmafloat or None, optional: Sigma of Gaussian model PSF to be convolved with trail image. The default is None, in which case no convolution is performed.
