Preprocessors¶

class solarbextrapolation.preprocessors.Preprocessors(map_data, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: object

A common class for all 2D pre-processing routines, tools used to pre-process the 2D sunpy map data for use in extrapolations. Usage can include basic filters for noise/contrast or algorythms to compensate for extrapolator assumptions, such as the force-free assumption that is assumed in many extrapolations, but isn’t true in the photosphere where magnetogram observations are generally taken.

Parameters:	map_data : sunpy.map.GenericMap The sunpy map containing the data to be processed. filepath : string The optional filepath for automatic saving of preprocessed results. notes : string User specified notes that will be added to the metadata.

Method for creating a preprocessor object, using a sunpy map.
