Automated Rotational Center Hurricane Eye Retrieval
- This package works with the standard Anaconda Python3 distribution, with one exception: it also needs the pyproj module. One way to add this module is
conda install pyproj

The script demo.py has numerous examples for testing the algorithm on a variety of input data. Follow the comments at the beginning of the script to modify this file to initiate tests from various inputs from the data/ subdirectory. By default, demo.py tests nothing, so you'll need to edit it to do anything.

The file archer/archer.py contains the long header that lays out all the components of input and output. It also contains the rules of proper usage. As user-friendly as I try to make this, there are a lot of behaviors of center-fixing (parallax, image format, algorithm dependencies on radiation type) that one needs to be in control of in order to get the expected answer.

This package is in beta mode. I am open to requests, including:
a. Better error-trapping and elegant exiting from improper/incomplete data inputs
b. Better/different status messages during execution, or messages that follow a GeoIPS standard
c. Capabilities to input other data sources not included (yet) in demo.py
