pyrmsynth | fast python-based RM synthesis

pyrmsynth is a Python library. pyrmsynth has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However pyrmsynth build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

current version: 1.3.0 updated on: 2015-06-22. pyrmsynth performs rm-synthesis, either simply by fourier transformation (to produce a dirty image) or using the rmclean method as described by heald, et al. (2009). it uses ffts for the fourier inversion and, as far as known to the authors, this is the only rm synthesis software around that does this. the numpy ffts are themselves quite fast, but in order to use them, the data first need to be placed on a regularly spaced lambda^2 grid. for this, the data are "gridded" by convolution with a kaiser-bessel window function and sampling at regular intervals, as described in e.g. beatty, nishimura, and pauly (ieee transactions in med. imaging, vol 24, no. 6, 2005). this procedure also naturally allows for the handling of non-regularly spaced frequencies. the gridding procedure, which requires a convolution, is quite slow when implemented in pure python, thus, it was re-implemented the gridding routines using cython, which converts python-eque code into c code that can be compiled and imported into python. the result is a package that performs fast rm synthesis and rm
