# image - Map image analysis¶

## Introduction¶

gammapy.image contains functions and classes for image based analysis. gammapy.image.models contains image models that can be evaluated and fitted.

## Getting Started¶

The functions and classes in gammapy.image take gammapy.maps objects as input and output. Currently they only work on WCS-based 2D images. For some, we will improve them to also work on HPX-based images and on maps with extra axes, such as e.g. an energy axis.

from gammapy.maps import Map
filename = "\$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi-3fhl-gc/fermi-3fhl-gc-counts.fits.gz"
image.smooth("0.1 deg").plot()

TODO: Show some gammapy.image functionality, e.g. evaluating a model image or making a profile.

## Reference/API¶

### gammapy.image Package¶

Sky images (2-dimensional: lon, lat).

#### Functions¶

 colormap_hess([transition, width]) Colormap often used in H.E.S.S. colormap_milagro([transition, width, huestart]) Colormap often used in Milagro collaboration publications. grayify_colormap(cmap[, mode]) Return a grayscale version a the colormap. illustrate_colormap(cmap, **kwargs) Illustrate color distribution and perceived luminance of a colormap. measure_containment(image, position, radius) Measure containment in a given circle around the source position. measure_containment_fraction(data, radius, …) Measure containment fraction. measure_containment_radius(image, position) Measure containment radius of a source. measure_curve_of_growth(image, position[, …]) Measure the curve of growth for a given source position. measure_image_moments(image) Compute 0th, 1st and 2nd moments of an image. scale_cube(data, kernels[, parallel]) Compute scale space cube.

#### Classes¶

 ASmooth([kernel, method, threshold, scales]) Adaptively smooth counts image. ImageProfile(table) Image profile class. ImageProfileEstimator([x_edges, method, …]) Estimate profile from image. MapPanelPlotter(figure, xlim, ylim[, npanels]) Map panel plotter class.

### gammapy.image.models Package¶

Spatial 2D image models.

#### Classes¶

 SkyDiffuseConstant([value]) Spatially constant (isotropic) spatial model. SkyDiffuseMap(map[, norm, meta, normalize, …]) Spatial sky map template model (2D). SkyDisk(lon_0, lat_0, r_0[, frame]) Constant radial disk model. SkyEllipse(lon_0, lat_0, semi_major, e, theta) Constant elliptical model. SkyGaussian(lon_0, lat_0, sigma[, frame]) Two-dimensional symmetric Gaussian model SkyPointSource(lon_0, lat_0[, frame]) Point Source. SkyShell(lon_0, lat_0, radius, width[, frame]) Shell model. SkySpatialModel([params]) Sky spatial model base class.
