Star Field Simulations

'Basic' simulation program (04/10/2016): Simulation_test1.py.txt

  • Simulation generates stars with random positions.
  • Canvas size and no. of stars are variable.
  • No gaussian profile for stars or grey values (pixel value is either 0 or 1).
  • Example output: (100x100 pixel canvas, 50 stars)
  • PositionSimTest2.png
Improvement - Gaussian star profiles (05/10/2016): Simulation_test2.py.txt

  • Generated stars now have 2d gaussian profiles.
  • Maximum grey values (gaussian peak values) are randomized - can result in star not appearing in output.
  • Example output: (100x100 pixel canvas, 0-100 grey value range, 10 stars)
  • GaussianSimTest1.png
  • Example 2: (1530x1020 pixels, 0-65535 grey value range, 50 stars)GaussianSimTest2.png
