galmask v0.2.0

Highlights

New features

• This version adds the option to preserve the central source even though it might be area-wise smaller than background sources, for both modes 0 and 2 (earlier it was enabled only for mode 1).
  • Added the getCenterLabelRegion method in utils.
• The find_farthest_label and find_closest_label methods from the utils module are now vectorized! They no longer use for loops. This would make it a bit faster.

Bugs fixed

• Pinned an older opencv-python version to prevent segfault errors with recent opencv-python versions.
• Fixed a minor error for deblend = False option.
• Added code clarification in README to prevent confusion.
• From this version onwards, the default option is deblend = False, instead of the default true option set earlier.
• Added template code in the documentation to replace zero pixel values with a background estimate.
