Reconstruction (~ctapipe.reco)

ctapipe.reco

Introduction

ctapipe.reco contains functions and classes to reconstruct physical shower parameters, using either stereo (multiple images of a shower) or mono (single telescope) information.

All shower reconstruction algorithms should be subclasses of ~ctapipe.reco.Reconstructor which defines some common functionality.

Currently Implemented Algorithms

Moment-Based Stereo Reconstruction

Moment-base reconstruction uses the moments of each shower image (the Hillas Parameters to estimate the shower axis for each camera, and combines them geometrically to estimate the true shower direction.

The implementation is in the ~ctapipe.reco.HillasReconstructor class.

Template-Based Stereo Reconstruction

Moment-base reconstruction uses the a fit of the full camera images to an expected image model to find the best fit shower axis, energy and depth of maximum. The implementation is in the ~ctapipe.reco.ImPACTReconstructor class.
