Release Notes for SpeckleCn2Profiler v1.0.0

We are thrilled to announce the first release of SpeckleCn2Profiler, a cutting-edge Python package designed to estimate atmospheric turbulence strength using SCIDAR and machine learning techniques. This tool aims to improve satellite communication by providing a robust framework for turbulence profiling, even in challenging rural and urban environments.

Highlights of v1.0.0

Core Features

• Turbulence Strength Estimation:
  • Predict instantaneous turbulence strength with uncertainty estimates using machine learning.
• Parameter Estimation:
  • Estimate key parameters like:
    • Fried parameter (r₀): Describes atmospheric coherence.
    • Isoplanatic angle (θ₀): Useful for adaptive optics systems.
    • Rytov Index (σ): Quantifies turbulence impact on optical links.
  • Visualize results with histograms and error distributions.

Data Processing Workflow

• Supports the full pipeline for SCIDAR image analysis using machine learning models.
• Easily integrates with configuration files for automated training and inference.

Comprehensive Documentation

• Extensive documentation available online for:
  • Setting up the package.
  • Example runs and use cases.
  • Parameter explanations and configuration guidelines.

Examples Repository

• Explore practical examples and configurations in the examples submodule.

Installation Options

• Install via PyPI:

  python -m pip install speck2cn

• Alternatively, clone the repository with submodules for full control over the development setup.

Future Plans

We aim to expand the package capabilities with:

• Support for additional turbulence metrics.
• Enhanced pre-trained models for diverse geographic locations.
• Tools for real-time turbulence monitoring.
