fitgaussian
(pixels, params, fixed=None, maxfev=0)[source]¶ Calculate source positional values by fitting a 2D Gaussian
Parameters: - pixels (numpy.ma.MaskedArray) – Pixel values (with bad pixels masked)
- params (dict) – initial fit parameters (possibly estimated using the moments() function, above)
Kwargs:
- fixed (dict): parameters & their values to be kept frozen (ie, not
- fitted)
maxfev (int): maximum number of calls to the error function
Returns: peak, total, x barycenter, y barycenter, semimajor, semiminor, theta (radians) Return type: (dict) Raises: ValueError (in case of a bad fit) Perform a least squares fit to an elliptical Gaussian.
If a dict called fixed is passed in, then parameters specified within the dict with the same names as fit_params (below) will be “locked” in the fitting process.

moments
(data, beam, threshold=0)[source]¶ Calculate source positional values using moments
Parameters: - data (numpy.ndarray) – Actual 2D image data
- beam (3-tuple) – beam (psf) information, with semi-major and semi-minor axes
Returns: peak, total, x barycenter, y barycenter, semimajor axis, semiminor axis, theta
Return type: (dict)
Raises: ValueError (in case of NaN in input)
Use the first moment of the distribution is the barycenter of an ellipse. The second moments are used to estimate the rotation angle and the length of the axes.
