Pre-processing ============== The second component provides pre-processing of the data, which includes plume detection, conversion between coordinate systems, unit conversions, and estimation of the background field. Plume detection algorithms -------------------------- The plume detection uses the function `ddeq.dplume.detect_plumes` for detecting plumes in the remote sensing image and `ddeq.plume_coords.compute_plume_line_and_coords` for computing the center curve and computing along- and across-plume coordinates. .. autofunction:: ddeq.dplume.detect_plumes .. autofunction:: ddeq.plume_coords.compute_plume_line_and_coords Prepare data ------------ The data can be prepared for emission quantification with `ddeq.emissions.prepare_data` function, which estimates the background field (using `ddeq.background.estimate`), computes the local enhancement above the background (plume signal) and converts units to mass column densities (in kg m-2). .. autofunction:: ddeq.emissions.prepare_data .. autofunction:: ddeq.background.estimate
