Imaging Spectrometer Optimal FITting
Project description
Welcome to ISOFIT 3x. This is a major update to the ISOFIT codebase, and is not backwards compatible with ISOFIT 2x. To view the previous version of ISOFIT, please see dev_2x. Updates and performance enhancements are still underway, but testing and feedback are encouraged! A list of new 3x features is compiled below.
ISOFIT contains a set of routines and utilities for fitting surface, atmosphere and instrument models to imaging spectrometer data. It is written primarily in Python, with JSON format configuration files and some dependencies on widely-available numerical and scientific libraries such as scipy, numpy, and scikit-learn. It is designed for maximum flexibility, so that users can swap in and evaluate model components based on different radiative transfer models (RTMs) and various statistical descriptions of surface, instrument, and atmosphere. It can run on individual radiance spectra in text format, or imaging spectrometer data cubes.
Please check the documentation for installation and usage instructions and in depth information.
There are three main branches:

Major ISOFIT 3x features
new handling of look-up-tables (LUTs), including the option to provide custom prebuilt LUTs
centralized radiative transfer physics for more flexible development and experimentation
test coverage for major functionality
click command line utilities, including download of external data and example files
a more flexible isofit.ini file used to discover various paths such as tests, data, and examples
instructions for dev environment setup and a collection of setup scripts
numpy implementation of the sRTMnet emulator (removes tensorflow dependency)
Basic features
utilities for fitting surface, atmosphere and instrument models to imaging spectrometer data
a selection of radiative transfer models (RTMs) incl. MODTRAN and 6S
sRTMnet emulator for MODTRAN 6 by coupling a neural network with a surrogate RTM (6S v2.1)
various statistical descriptions of surface, instrument, and atmosphere
application to both individual radiance spectra and imaging spectrometer data cubes
custom instrument models to handle new sensors
observation uncertainties to account for model discrepancy errors
prior distribution based on background knowledge of the state vector
