Roadmap

• ESIS Distortion Model

  • Pull merit functions and optimization routines out of notebooks and into codebase.

  • Save results of optimization runs into format that can be read into an instrument instance.

  • From distortion fits build InterpolatedSystem class that fits a desired polynomial to raytrace for faster mapping from source to detector.

• CTIS Package

  • Calculate weights from interpolated system.

  • Transpose weights for backward operation.

  • Define standard interface for all inversion methods. (forward, backward, data, merit, inner/outer loop filtering? to be ready for:

    • CNN

    • MART/RL (other iterative methods)

    • Possibly sklearn linear regression?

  • Figure out the best way to store results in a common object so we can examine convergence/progress and compare methods easily.

• Data Synthesis

  • Forward model from VDEM to detector.

  • Generate synthetic ESIS-II images from simulations.

  • Add noise “correctly”.

• Papers

  • ESIS-I Instrument Paper (ASAP)

  • CNN Inversion Paper

  • ESIS-I Full Detector Inversion (big event analysis)

  • ESIS-II pre-flight Science?

  • ESIS-II mission/results
