• image_reduction: reduction pipeline for imaging data

Authors: Rachel Street & Etienne Bachelet

The package can be installed directly to any compatible Python environment (>3.10) by:

To install the scripts used to run the pipeline, it is best to clone this respository.

The documentation for this package can be found on ReadTheDocs.
