DESCRIPTION
usage: pyFAI-average [options] [options] -o output.edf file1.edf file2.edf ...
This tool can be used to average out a set of dark current images using mean or median filter (along the
image stack). One can also reject outliers be specifying a cutoff (remove cosmic rays / zingers from
dark)
positional arguments:
FILE Files to be processed
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-V, --version
show program's version number and exit
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output/ destination of average image
-m METHOD, --method METHOD
Method used for averaging, can be 'mean' (default) or 'min', 'max', 'median', 'sum', 'quantiles' ,
'cutoff', 'std'. Multiple filters can be defined with ',' separator.
-c CUTOFF, --cutoff CUTOFF
Take the mean of the average +/- cutoff * std_dev.
-F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
Output file/image format (by default EDF)
-d DARK, --dark DARK
Dark noise to be subtracted
-f FLAT, --flat FLAT
Flat field correction
-v, --verbose
switch to verbose/debug mode
-q QUANTILES, --quantiles QUANTILES
average out between two quantiles -q 0.20-0.90
--monitor-name MONITOR_KEY
Name of the monitor in the header of each input files. If defined the contribution of each input
file is divided by the monitor. If the header does not contain or contains a wrong value, the
contribution of the input file is ignored. On EDF files, values from 'counter_pos' can accessed by
using the expected mnemonic. For example 'counter/bmon'.
--quiet
Only error messages are printed out
It can also be used to merge many images from the same sample when using a small beam and reduce the
spotty-ness of Debye-Sherrer rings. In this case the "max-filter" is usually recommended.
