## Overview

astroSR implements the Drizzle algorithm (Fruchter & Hook, 2002) for astronomical image combination and super-resolution reconstruction. The package provides precise photometric flux conservation through pixel-to-pixel mapping with configurable overlap area calculations, enabling resolution enhancement beyond the native pixel scale of input images.

## Key Features

- **Faithful Drizzle Implementation**: Complete implementation of the Fruchter & Hook (2002) algorithm with exact flux conservation
- **Resolution Enhancement**: Achieves spatial resolution improvement through optimal dithering pattern exploitation
- **Flexible Weighting**: Supports per-image weighting based on exposure time, image quality, or other metrics
- **Multiple Kernel Types**: Square, Gaussian, and tophat kernels for different reconstruction requirements
- **WCS Support**: Full World Coordinate System handling for precise geometric transformations
- **Noise Control**: Configurable pixel fraction parameter for noise correlation management

## Theoretical Background

The achievable resolution gain depends on:

- Number of input images and their dithering pattern
- Alignment precision and point spread function characteristics
- Signal-to-noise ratio of individual exposures

For well-dithered observations, the effective resolution improvement typically ranges from 1.5× to 3× the native pixel scale, with optimal results achieved using 4-9 input images.

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install astrosr
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/dot-gabriel-ferrer/astroSR.git
cd astroSR
pip install .
```

### Development Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/dot-gabriel-ferrer/astroSR.git
cd astroSR
pip install -e .[dev]
```

## Requirements

- Python ≥ 3.9
- NumPy ≥ 1.20.0
- Astropy ≥ 6.0
- SciPy ≥ 1.7.0
- Matplotlib ≥ 3.5.0
- DrizzlePac ≥ 3.6.0

## Usage

### Command Line Interface

Basic usage for combining dithered images:

```bash
astrosr \
    --input img1.fits img2.fits img3.fits img4.fits \
    --output combined.fits \
    --scale-factor 2.0 \
    --pixfrac 0.8
```

Advanced usage with custom weighting:

```bash
astrosr \
    --input obs1.fits obs2.fits obs3.fits \
    --output result.fits \
    --scale-factor 2.0 \
    --pixfrac 0.8 \
    --weights 1.0 2.0 1.5 \
    --kernel gaussian \
    --save-weight-map
```

### Python API

```python
from astrosr import drizzle_super_resolution

# Basic combination
drizzle_super_resolution(
    input_files=['img1.fits', 'img2.fits', 'img3.fits', 'img4.fits'],
    output_file='superres.fits',
    scale_factor=2.0,
    pixfrac=0.8
)

# Advanced configuration
result = drizzle_super_resolution(
    input_files=['obs1.fits', 'obs2.fits', 'obs3.fits'],
    output_file='output.fits',
    scale_factor=2.0,
    pixfrac=0.8,
    weights=[1.0, 1.2, 0.8],
    kernel='gaussian',
    pixel_scale=0.5,  # arcsec/pixel
    save_weight_map=True,
    preserve_flux=True
)
```

## Applications

### Dithered Observations

Combine multiple exposures with sub-pixel offsets to achieve super-resolution:

```python
drizzle_super_resolution(
    input_files=['dither_01.fits', 'dither_02.fits', 'dither_03.fits', 'dither_04.fits'],
    output_file='superres.fits',
    scale_factor=2.0
)
```

### Quality-Weighted Combination

Weight images by exposure time or image quality:

```python
drizzle_super_resolution(
    input_files=['short_exp.fits', 'long_exp.fits'],
    output_file='weighted.fits',
    weights=[1.0, 3.0],  # 3x weight for longer exposure
    scale_factor=1.8
)
```

### Mosaic Construction

Combine overlapping fields into a unified high-resolution image:

```python
drizzle_super_resolution(
    input_files=['field_a.fits', 'field_b.fits', 'field_c.fits'],
    output_file='mosaic.fits',
    scale_factor=1.5
)
```

## Validation and Testing

The implementation has been validated for:

- Photometric accuracy (< 1% flux conservation error)
- Geometric precision in coordinate transformations
- Proper handling of NaN pixels and image boundaries
- Resolution enhancement verification

Comprehensive test suite available in `tests/` directory.
