Pyvisgen is a python implementation of the Radio Interferometer Measurement Equation (RIME)
formalism inspired by the VISGEN tool of the `MIT Array Performance Simulator <https://github.com/piyanatk/MAPS>`_
developed at `Haystack Observatory <https://www.haystack.mit.edu/astronomy/>`_. The RIME is used to simulate
the measurement process of a radio interferometer. A gridder is also implemented to process the resulting
visibilities and convert them to images suitable as input for the neural networks developed in the
`radionets repository <https://github.com/radionets-project/radionets>`_.

Installation
============

You can install the necessary packages in a conda environment of your choice by executing

.. code::

  $ pip install -e .


Usage
=====

There are 3 possible modes at the moment:  ``simulate`` (default), ``slurm``, and ``gridding``. ``simulate`` and ``slurm`` both
utilize the RIME formalism for creating visibilities data. With the option ``gridding``, these visibilities get gridded and prepared
as input images for training a neural network from the radionets framework. The necessary options and variables are set with a ``toml``
file. An exemplary file can be found in ``config/data_set.toml``.

.. code::

  $ pyvisgen_create_dataset --mode=simulate some_file.toml


In the examples directory, you can find introductory jupyter notebooks which can be used as an entry point.

Input images
============

As input images for the RIME formalism, we use GAN-generated radio galaxies created by `Rustige et. al. <https://doi.org/10.1093/rasti/rzad016>`_
and `Kummer et. al. <https://doi.org/10.18420/inf2022_38>`_. Below, you can see four example images consisting of FRI and FRII sources.

Any image can be used as input for the formalism, as long as they are stored in the h5 format, generated with |h5py|_.

RIME
====

Currently, we use the following expression for the simulation process:

$$\\mathbf{V}_{\\mathrm{pq}}(l, m) = \\sum_{l, m} \\mathbf{E}_{\\mathrm{p}}(l, m) \\mathbf{K}_{\\mathrm{p}}(l, m) \\mathbf{B}(l, m) \\mathbf{K}^{H}_{\\mathrm{q}}(l, m) \\mathbf{E}^{H}_{\\mathrm{q}}(l, m)$$

Here, $\\mathbf{B}(l, m)$ corresponds to the source distribution, $\\mathbf{K}(l, m) = \\exp(-2\\pi\\cdot i\\cdot (ul + vm))$ represents
the phase delay, and $\\mathbf{E}(l, m) = \\mathrm{jinc}\\left(\\frac{2\\pi}{\\lambda}d\\cdot \\theta_{lm}\\right)$ the telescope properties,
with $\\mathrm{jinc(x)} = \\frac{J_1(x)}{x}$ and $J_1(x)$ as the first Bessel function. An exemplary result can be found below.
