ccdmom - moment or accumulate along an axis of an image
ccdmom
[parameter=value]
ccdmom takes special moments (in position,
or image intensity) along an axis of an image/cube. It can optionally also
accumulate along the selected axis.
For datacubes that need to produce velocity
fields a number of alternate options (gaussian fit, envelope tracing etc.)
are available via pvtrace(1NEMO)
.
The following parameters are
recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
- in=
- Input image file.
No default.
- out=
- Output image file. No default.
- axis=
- Axis to take moment
along (1=x 2=y 3=z) [Default: 1]
- mom=
- Moment to take [-2,-1,0,1,2,3..]
Compute either the sum (0), mean (1)
, dispersion (2)
, or peak location
(3)
. Negative numbers also have a special meaning. -1 computes the average
intensity along the axis, where -2 computes the dispersion around the mean
value. [Default: 0].
- keep=t|f
- Boolean value if to keep the moment axis. If
you keep the axis (instead of compressing it), the values are replaced
with the computed moment. This can be useful if you want to subtract an
cube/image with the mean value along a certain axis. Only in this case (but
see also cumulative=t below) will the output image have the same shape
and dimension as the input image. [Default: f].
- cumulative=t|f
- Boolean value
if the values should accumulate instead along the selected axis. The mom=
keyword is ignored, and the input and output datasets will now have the
same shape and dimension. [Default: f]

Cannot compute straight moments, e.g. the 2nd moment
along an axis, such as e.g. snapgrid can do. This program only computes user
friendly numbers (sum, mean, dispersion) and gives special meaning to negative
values of mom= and axis=.
