Dependencies

For working with ISIS commands, you must firts have USGS ISIS 3 installed on your machine. See the ISIS 3 installation guide for further instructions. Remember to set your environmental variables (see step 4 of USGS ISIS guide) so Pysis knows where your installation is.

Numerical and String Arguments

Here is an example of the maptemplate and cam2map commands in Pysis:

from pysis import isis

isis.maptemplate(map='MDIS_eqr.map', projection='equirectangular',
                 clon=0.0, clat=0.0, resopt='mpp', resolution=1000,
                 rngopt='user', minlat=-10.0, maxlat=10.0, minlon=-10.0,
                 maxlon=10.0)

isis.cam2map(from_=cal_name, to=proj_name, pixres='map',
             map='MDIS_eqr.map',defaultrange='map')

Getting values from ISIS commands

Pysis commands will return the command’s STDOUT as a byte string. If the command returns a nonzero exit code, a ProcessError will be thrown. This example command uses getkey to receive values from the label of an ISIS cube:

from pysis.isis import getkey

value = getkey(from_='W1467351325_4.map.cal.cub',
               keyword='minimumringradius', grp='mapping')

Catching ProcessingErrors

Pysis supports catching ISIS processing errors like so:

from pysis.exceptions import ProcessError
from pysis.isis import hi2sis

try:
    hi2isis(from_=filein, to=fileout)
except ProcessError as e:
    print("STDOUT:", e.stdout)
    print("STDERR:", e.stderr)

Multiprocessing Isis Commands with IsisPool

Pysis has built-in support to make multiprocessing isis commands simple. To run the above MDIS calibration script for multiple images in multiple processes we could rewrite the function as so:

from pysis import IsisPool
from pysis.util import ImageName

def calibrate_mdis(images):
    images = [ImageName(filename) for filename in images]

    with IsisPool() as isis_pool:
        for filename in images:
            isis_pool.mdis2isis(from_=filename.IMG, to=filename.cub)

    with IsisPool() as isis_pool:
        for filename in images:
            isis_pool.spiceinit(from_=filename.cub)

    with IsisPool() as isis_pool:
        for filename in images:
            isis_pool.mdiscal(from_=filename.cub, to=filename.cal.cub)

When using IsisPool we can’t determine which order commands will be executed in so we much run each command for all the files as a group before moving to the next command and creating a new IsisPool.
