Introduction

GONet Wizard is a Python package for inspecting, visualizing, and extracting measurements from images produced by GONet cameras. It provides both a command line interface and a graphical launcher, but both interfaces are built on top of the same underlying processing code.

The package is designed around a simple idea: GONet image files contain more than a viewable JPEG. They also contain raw Bayer sensor data and observational metadata that can be useful for quantitative analysis. GONet Wizard reads those files, exposes the underlying channels, and provides tools to turn the data into plots, tables, extracted measurements, and dashboard-ready products.

The first pages in this guide explain the data model before describing the software interface. This order is intentional. Once the camera, image format, channels, and GONetFile objects are clear, the command-line and graphical tools become much easier to understand.
