Siril | Siril is now fully capable to pre-process and process '''deep sky''' images. One feature still missing for '''planetary''' images processing is image deformation, but it is still capable of registering and processing them in an elegant way. The new star detection registration is perfect for deep sky images, but there are also two automatic translation-only registrations, one more suited for planetary and bright nebula images, based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform DFT], and another more simple targetted at deep-sky images, based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function PSF] on a single reference star. Additionally, a manual alignment capability makes it also well fitted for amateur astronomers having feature-less or bad quality images that automatic tools fail to align properly. | ||

Siril, un logiciel libre pour le traitement d'images en astronomie
Siril is meant to be Iris for Linux (sirI-L). It is an astronomical image processing tool, able to convert, pre-process images, help aligning them automatically or manually, stack them and enhance final images. This page is the page for the new version of Siril.
Current version is 0.9.0 stable version. Previous version were 0.9.0 beta and 0.9.0 rc1, now obsolete.
A qui s'adresse Siril ?
Siril vise les astronomes amateurs qui ont acquis des images et qui veulent les traiter avec des moyens semi-automatiques. Il fournit une interface plus conviviale que la ligne de commande d'Iris, mais n'est pas autant automatisé que DeepSkyStacker ou Registax. Il fournit toutefois une ligne de commande pour accéder facilement à différentes fonctions de traitement.
Siril is now fully capable to pre-process and process deep sky images. One feature still missing for planetary images processing is image deformation, but it is still capable of registering and processing them in an elegant way. The new star detection registration is perfect for deep sky images, but there are also two automatic translation-only registrations, one more suited for planetary and bright nebula images, based on DFT, and another more simple targetted at deep-sky images, based on PSF on a single reference star. Additionally, a manual alignment capability makes it also well fitted for amateur astronomers having feature-less or bad quality images that automatic tools fail to align properly.
Les astronomes professionnels utilisent généralement des images en 32 bits par pixel par couleur ; Siril n'en utilise que 16 en interne (sauf de façon temporaire pour l'empilement). Le chargement des images FITS en 32 bits est supporté mais elles seront dégradées puisque converties en 16 bits. Cela peut être quand même utile si le but est de produire des images pour le grand public.
And more generally, people who want to use free software on free operating systems to process images. Siril can even be used to extract previewed frames from many videos formats. For an overview, see some image processing results, or documentation pages.

Démarrer avec Siril / Documentation
Siril fonctionne de façon interne avec des images FITS, en 16 bits non signé, pour chaque couleur de chaque pixel. Toutes les images que vous voudrez traiter avec Siril devront être converties dans ce format, sauf pour les fichiers de séquence SER ou AVI qui sont convertis à la volée.
For pre-processing, Siril applies master offset/bias, dark and flat images to the current sequence. These master images thus have to be processed before processing the actual image sequence. Siril currently does not support processing multiple sequences at the same time, so each layer of the final image must be processed independently before assembling them into an RGB image.
Une page de documentation contient un tutoriel complet de traitement illustré, des instructions sur comment utiliser des fonctionnalités particulières de Siril, et des vidéos qui illustrent ces dernières.
Liste des fonctionnalités de Siril
New features are being introduced quite regularly. Here is a list of main features:
- Native image format support
- unsigned 16-bit FITS files (other FITS are converted to this format on-the-fly)
- SER files
- AVI and many other film files, their support is being dropped in favour of SER.
- Image conversion (to the native FITS format only)
- Supported input types: 8-bit and 16-bit BMP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG files, NetPBM binary images, RAW DSLR images.
- Image registration; supported methods:
- Global star alignment (rotation + translation)
- Translation using DFT centered on an object, generally used for planetary images
- Translation using PSF of a star, generally used for deek-sky images
- Manual translation with two preview renderings of the current image with reference frame in transparency
- Image stacking
- Summing
- Median
- Percentile clipping
- Sigma clipping
- Median sigma clipping
- Winsorized sigma clipping
- Linear fit clipping
- Pixel maximum
- Pre-processing of images with multi-channel offset, dark and flat images
- Enhancement of final images: lightness/contrast cursors on each layer, different scaling modes (linear, log, square root, squared, asinh, histogram equalisation), negative and false colour rendering and clipping.
- A command line for various processing functions, see the list of available commands.
- A star finding algorithm with PSF information
Limitations:
- Only 3-channel colour images assigned to R, G and B are possible in the general workspace (image processing and sequence handling). It is however possible to manipulate several 1-channel image to create a colour composition, such as popular LRGB, RGBHa or SII-Ha-OIII images, with the compositing tool.
Compilation et installation
See Siril installation page. It documents which binary packages you can get and how to build from source if needed, for multiple operating systems. Siril is a free software, licence is GPL3. It will most likely never run or be supported on Windows family operating systems.
Qui est derrière Siril ?
The project leader of this new version is Vincent. He is a computer scientist (PhD), and uses Siril as an amateur to process images from a Canon EOS and a B&W QSI camera on a 410mm telescope.
Cyril est docteur en physique ; il motive les nouveaux développement et fournit des algorithmes de traitements de haute qualité à Siril.
François Meyer a développé le projet initial, jusqu'à la version 0.8. Ici sont téléchargeables les sources devenues obsolètes : Sourceforge project et website.
