A tool to decode star spectrum images using OpenCV to make predictions about its charatestics.

Spaceye 🌌

Spaceye is something hit my mind 🧠 when I was reading 📘 "Introductation to Astrophsics" by Baidyanath Basu which said we can get informatation about some celestial bodies from thier spectrum.So I set out to make a tool that extract this informatation from the spectrum.

Spectrum is basically a collection of all the colors in the image split up this can be taken from spectrometers u can make a spectrometer at home for 10$
It looks like:

What Does Space Do ☑️

It takes a spectrum image finds the color-graph find the adsorption lines the does some data crunching to find the corresponding elements, then also uses doppler shift to find the speed(radial velocity) 🏎️ , and matches with the star type to find an Idea about temperarture 🌡️ and wieght

It also has a feature where we can take in video of celestial 🪐 body to find its rotation time

This all is packaged in a simple GUI.

How to use ⚙️

Step 1: clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Blackcipher101/Spaceye.git

Step 2: install required packages

pip install opencv-python
pip install PySimpleGUI

Step3: Showtime

python3 main.py

🥳 Ça suffit! 🥳

Workflow

Startup

Selection of file

Color graph

Adsoption lines

Here can adjust the amount of accuracy you want the set in such a way you don't have many lines but some promient lines.

Final

Enter your start and end frquency of the spectrometer try looking up spectralbench if you don't know

Note: - sign stands for going away from us

Yaah its all done that simple right,

I have cross-verified the elements with what are mostly find in those type of stars and it matches up 90% of the time and also the speed and weight numbers.

Rotation

Enter the duration of the video an leave it

I missed the accurate rotation time by 0.74 days which is 27 days Disclamer:Only gives rotation of the middle part as in some celestial bodies different regions have differnt times

All the images used were from spectral bench provided by public lab and the video was picked from SOHO webisite

spaceye's Issues

Bug when selecting a different folder if an image is already selected.

This is similar to #11 issue.

When an image is already selected then changing the folder bugs out.

Intergrate with readthedocs

Add a to documentation to readthedocs as shown here https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro/getting-started-with-sphinx.html

Add a feature to save the color graph.

Save the colour graph using the celestial body as its name

How to add a new image source by myself

Remove all .py files expect main.py

all .py files are rendered useless as the code has already been moved to main.py

Make the video options compressible

the video data should be collapsable

Rename Window from "Image viewer" to "Spaceye"

you will find the code in main.py

Change the track bar default to 6

The trackbar default should be setup to 6 its 7 currently

Bug when selecting a different spectrum image if there is already one selected.

The new selection doesn't overwrite the previous spectrum image selection.
which further can't display the colour graph of the new one and is stuck on previous selection.
