Compute astrometric solutions
Software for Calibrating AstroMetry and Photometry is a software that computes astrometric projection parameters from source catalogues derived from FITS images. The computed solution is expressed according to the WCS standard. The main features of SCAMP are:
compatibility with SExtractor FITS or Multi-Extension FITS catalogue format in input
generation of WCS-compliant and SWarp-compatible FITS image headers in output
automatic grouping of catalogues on the sky
selectable on-line astrometric reference catalogue
automatic determination of scale, position angle, flipping and coordinate shift using fast pattern-matching
various astrometric calibration modes for single detectors and detector arrays
combined astrometric solutions for multi-channel/instrument surveys
highly configurable astrometric distortion polynomials
correction for differential chromatic refraction
proper motion measurements
multi-threaded code that takes advantage of multiple processors
VOTable-compliant XML output of meta-data
XSLT filter sheet provided for convenient access to metadata from a regular web browser
