CONVOLVE(1) User Commands CONVOLVE(1)

NAME

Convolve - convolve an image with a given kernel

SYNOPSIS

astconvolve [OPTION...] ASTRdata

DESCRIPTION

Convolve is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.8. Convolve will convolve an input image with a given spatial kernel (image) in the spatial domain (no edge effects) or frequency domain. The latter suffers from edge effects, but can be much faster.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of Convolve's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.

All options and their values:
$ astconvolve -P
Inputs/Outputs and options:
$ info astconvolve
Full section in manual/book:
$ info Convolve
Full Gnuastro manual/book:
$ info gnuastro

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:

$ info help-gnuastro

Convolve options:
