Description:

imcascade 1.1

imcascade is a code designed for fitting objects in astronomical images using a “cascade” of Gaussians. It uses multi-guassian expansion (MGE) to model galaxies as a mixture of Gaussians in a Bayesian Framework. It was designed to study the morphology of faint, semi-resolved galaxies. If you are planning on using imcascade we suggest reading our paper describing the method here and the documentation here.
