This is the Python implementation of Image Combination (PyIMCOM) package being developed for the Roman Space Telescope "Cosmology with the High Latitude Survey" Project Infrastructure Team.
- You will want to install the C kernel furry-parakeet for best performance and for some of the advanced features.
- How to build a mosaic in PyIMCOM
- How to write a PyIMCOM configuration file
- How to compress PyIMCOM output files
- Instructions for using the meta post-processing module
