User Guide

The User Guide introduces the observational and software concepts behind GONet Wizard. It is intended for readers who want to understand what GONet images contain, how GONet Wizard represents them internally, and how the GUI and command-line interfaces relate to the same processing engine.

This section deliberately starts with the input domain: GONet cameras, GONet images, channels, and the GONetFile model. Task-specific documentation, such as extraction workflows, command-line syntax, and GUI walkthroughs, is covered in the dedicated sections linked from the main documentation index.
