imcascade

Welcome to the documentation for imcascade. It is a non-parametric framework for fitting astronomical images to study the morphological properties of galaxies and other objects. This is accomplished by modelling them as a series (or cascade) of Gaussians

If you are planning on using imcascade, it is strongly recommended to read the paper describing the method, available here
