kundu_chaudhuri_circle_fit#

ctapipe.image.muon.kundu_chaudhuri_circle_fit(x, y, weights, nan_errors_flag=False)[source]#

Fast and reliable analytical circle fitting method.

Previously used in the H.E.S.S. experiment for muon identification. Implementation based on [CK93]

Parameters:
x: array-like or astropy quantity

x coordinates of the points

y: array-like or astropy quantity

y coordinates of the points

weights: array-like

weights of the points

nan_errors_flag: bool

The flag defines whether errors are set to NaN.

Returns:
radiusastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted radius of the circle.

center_xastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted x-coordinate of the circle center.

center_yastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted y-coordinate of the circle center.

radius_errastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted radius of the circle error.

center_x_errastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted x-coordinate of the circle center error.

center_y_errastropy.units.Quantity

Fitted y-coordinate of the circle center error.
