Development plan

[timstaley]

Current:

• Issue Pipeline / utility executables #15: Pipeline / utility executables
• PR Add Vagrant/Ansible scripts for setting up a Debian-testing build. #13 Review and merge setup scripts for Vagrant development VM.
• Issue C++/Python bindings #12: C++/Python wrapping (PyBind11 or Boost::Python?)
• Refactor of 'oversampling' parameter handling (blocked by Bindings interface issues FastImaging-Python#1)
• Scripts and accompanying documentation explaining how run the 'reduce' script under profiling / benchmarking.
• Documented results (preferably, scripts to generate and plot results) on scaling behaviour (to be discussed with Anna)

Old

• Issue Integrate cnpy into build, convert to/from Armadillo arrays, test. #2: Integrate cnpy into build and perform basic functionality tests
• Issue Convolution functions #3: Basic 1D convolution functions (tophat, sinc, exp*sinc)
• Issue 2-d kernel generation #6 : 2-d kernel generation from convolution functions:
• Issue Exact convolutional gridder #4: Exact convolutional gridder (i.e. recalculate function for each pixel, for each UV sample).
• Issue Configuration options e.g. UV grid size (Use Boost program_options?) #5: UV gridsize parameters / calculations
• Issue: Interpolated convolutional gridder (convolution kernel is precalculated for grid at a variety of sub-pixel offsets).
• Issue Simple imaging script (gridding + FFT) #9: FFT / simple imaging script
• Prolate spheroidal convolution function.
• Issue Use a git-submodule for lib-armadillo source #7: Integrate lib-armadillo into the CMake build, via git-submodule.
• Windowing / function (AKA 'taper').
• Issue: Implement flexible gridder weighting
• UVW rotation & phase correction for phase-rotation (aka image-plane faceting).
