laminoAlign

laminoAlign is a python software package for aligning projections from laminography experiments.

Portions of this software package are based on the cSAXS ptychography MATLAB package developed by the Science IT and the coherent X-ray scattering (CXS) groups at the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland.https://www.psi.ch/en/sls/csaxs/software.

For more details on the alignment methods used in this software package, see this paper: Michal Odstrčil, Mirko Holler, Jörg Raabe, and Manuel Guizar-Sicairos, "Alignment methods for nanotomography with deep subpixel accuracy," Opt. Express 27, 36637-36652 (2019)

Standard Installation

1. Install miniforge
2. Clone the directory

$ git clone https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource/laminoAlign.git

4. Create a new environment and install the requirements that need to be installed from the conda-forge channel

 $ conda create -c conda-forge -n laminoAlign --file requirements.txt

3. Install laminoAlign

$ pip install .

For developer installation, use pip install -e .
