resample_image

Reprojects an image by resampling the integer pixel values onto the new output WCS.

This is a prototype CIAO tool to reproject an image from one World Coordinate System (WCS) to another. The existing reproject_image tool does this by dividing the flux in each input pixel into each output pixel. This is inappropriate when then input image has integer values (eg X-ray counts). To preserve the Poisson nature of the data we need to preserve integer counts so we need to resample the image.
