FLINTS
======
Overall presentation
--------------------
FLINTS is an interpolation algorithm of fields sampled on a sphere. We assumed originally that the field corresponds to a band limited Gaussian random field but it is also optimal in the least-square sense for any field on the sphere.
We propose here a C++/OpenMP implementation of this algorithm. It uses the specificities of HEALPix pixelization for speed optimization. The code is mostly self-documenting through comments.
Software requirements
---------------------
* CMake (http://www.cmake.org) for building FLINTS
* HEALPix (http://healpix.sourceforge.net/)
* GSL (http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/)
* Optionally GenGetopt (http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/)
Download
